[QUOTE="richg99, post: 230686, member: 4376"] I've owned a number of CS's. Still keep an old CS STD 16 footer up in Wisconsin. She keeps me fishing all Summer long. They are fine boats if taken care of. One thing to be wary of is ....a few of them had water intrusion issues. Mostly due to poor installation of center consoles or ice chests/seats. If the screws holding those items to the hull deck were not properly sealed...AND...the boat was left outside...AND... the drain holes were covered.....water sitting on the deck could seep into the foam. Extra weight was slowing some boats down. Drilling the transom and tilting the bow high up would allow some water to drain out naturally. Leaving the boat in the tilted position for a few weeks worked wonders. regards, Rich p.s. The original CS J 16's were only rated for 25 hp. Your boat must fly! RG [/QUOTE]
