So I've had this boat for 4 years now, bought it new in 2010. We fish for big flatheads down here, having to cross some skinny water to get to some of the best spots. Boat has served me well over the years, its plenty fast, and is one of the shallowest running jet boats on the river we fish, did I mention its the fastest. Its a 2010 Lowe Roughneck 17/55D tunnel hull with a 90/65 Mercury 2 stroke jet. Runs mid to upper 30's empty and on average 32 loaded. I have it rigged with Hummingbird side image electronics, and 2 position rod holders all around. It carrys a 18 gallon full tank and 30 gallon bait tank with no problem. Dual batteries mounted up front, with a forwarded mounted console. I have a set of custom float pods from Boyds Welding that helps support the 300 lb motor. A few years ago I did a custom camo paint job and Durabak non skid to the floor areas. Well the non-skid was starting to peel and the floor was getting flexible due to fatigue(floor was to thin from the word go) so I decided to put in new floor supports and a new .125 plate 1 piece floor. just about ready to go back together, waiting on a few more parts to show up.
