[QUOTE="LarryMc, post: 426267, member: 13895"] Did you see this Rhino with a 2 stroke 60/40 made by James River Jets? https://richmond.craigslist.org/boa/5949567631.html I fished a couple of times with a guy that had one almost identical with the one shown here. It was a real nice boat with lots of storage and Stick Steering which I really like. It ran pretty good, although not quite as fast or as quick to get on plane as my Lowe when I had the 2 stroke 60/40 on it. He had UHMW put on it after he had owned it for a while. He told me that the UHMW really hurt the performance, but I never fished in it after the UHMW was installed so I can't say how much performance loss there actually was. I wouldn't want to speculate why the guy with the boat you described wants to sell it, but judging from my experience with re-powering my boat with a Mercury 4 stroke 40 jet, I would guess that the performance of his boat with the combination of a 4 stroke 40 jet, a .i25" hull and an UHMW bottom would leave a lot to be desired. That said, the only way to actually know what the boat will do is to drive it, so that would be my suggestion before deciding whether or not to buy it. [/QUOTE]
