"I am

boat. Nice and wide makes for a smooth ride and |

plenty of
room. This boat was running a 2.4 200 @ 65 gps with |
|

two and a
fishin' load. Now with the 225X I'm cruising at 75.4 |

I've owned a
lot of boats over the last 35 years, but this one is |
|
| |
a keeper. I
would like to obtain a windshield. If another owner |
|
| |
has one, if
they could trace the bottom configuration I would |
|
| |
gladly pay
all costs. The boat had been used only 20 times in |
|
| |
10 years, has
always stayed in a garage, paint & gelcoat are like |
|
| |
new. I have
had lots of offers to buy it, but it will not be sold. |
