I was just at lake conroe this last weekend. But it doesn't look like a bad boat. The price is right if it is true that the motor runs good.

What do you plan on doing with your boat? I have gone through 3 boats... Im only 28. I can help you with your choice as I live in near Ft Lauderdale and have been boating/buying/fixing etc for the past decade. I have made 3 mistakes lol, and can share some info.

That's the design. He is saying that if the water is rough, that design doesn't take on waves well and is hard on you. Hard on your back.

Oh, I see! Thanks guys, and again pardon my lack of knowledge on this matter. I know the ranger can haul the boat, just worried about getting dragged into a ramp :/ haha she's only 2wd
