Boat looks a million bucks. Just got a few questions though.
What was the strengthening work done by Haines?
How's the 2 banger on fuel?
Is the permatrim a necessity or more a fix for a minor lift problem?
Did you have a tank put in under the floor or are you running a tote in the bilge area?
Yes, I'm 95% ditching the kayak for a wasp

Looks good.
Do you think there would be enough space to fit a small centre-console/canopy?
Mike.

The 400 Prowler is the same boat only with a factory centre console -mingle wrote:Looks good.

Man, i really got to come and do a test run comparison of my smartwave 4.2 against this and see how it fares.
similar in price range, size and intended fishing purposes.

haha dude, no not racing or anything like that, i just wanted to see what this boat is like compared to what i have , because i did consider a prowler at one stage.
More so im interested in seeing how stable the boat is at rest and underway, comfort level, noise levels at rest
I fish lures mainly from my boat and stability at rest is of utmost importance to me (hence one of the reasons I went the smartwave eventually)
I am well aware of the popularity of the wasp/prowler hence why I was wanting to have a comparison.
No stress if your not keen mate, don’t want to force anyone to do anything.
cheers
