So this is an older boat and I don't think there are too many of them around still but here goes...
The boat is 17-9" overall and was the mini Ski-Nautique at the time it was built. Powered by a reverse rotation PCM Ford 302.
Pro's:
-It throws a great ski wake and a respectable wakeboard wake without any ballast.
-It is like driving a little race car until about 45mph (you can literally pull the rope out of a skiers hands from a dead stop)
-Its easy on fuel. Only holds 20 gallons but you can pretty much run all day on a tank.
Cons:
-If you want to go out in anything other than glass get ready to bounce
-Storage space is limited
-Closed bow limits seating
The boat that I have has been a bit of a project. I bought it with a partner in SD about three years ago. He bailed out about a year ago and it's all mine now. When we bought the boat it had a bunch of problems that we missed on a cursory inspection. We started by replacing a cracked head, and bad carb, it continued to a transmission, a full engine rebuild a year later, and another rebuild this past summer due to a crappy first rebuild. Also had some gel work and a new trailer rebuilt this winter.
Here are some pics since I've owned it.
