Webdr, When testing the boat, Would you be able for us . . me LOL to take off the left rudder and run it and see how it handles with just the one rudder?

Status: offline 		Oh, thats right I don't know what I was thinking? So is the abs hull on this boat pretty durable/thick? I think this is a neat looking little boat. I bet it would be a better hull then the mini-v and c. Plus it doesn't have the stearable outdrive BS that comes on the pro boat crap. I wonder how much these will cost?

Status: offline 		AQ knew what the public wanted and in abs to-boot. That is one sharp cookie and with the season just around the corner, the timing was perfect. I hope production can keep up the supply. People are cutting back on alot of stuff but at this price , i got to have it idea, i can afford it, just alittle hop up and that's it.
