note Good boat - faster and lower cockpit, much less 'Rockered' as 07 New

It's  a really forgiving creeker, just doesn't have the big bulbous bow so it will pearl or pogo unless you take a boof stroke.   More like a big bowed GUS or Prijon - carries speed well and you'll need some to keep the bow up off shallow ledges.

It's a definite 'Medium' so 200 lbs is max and I thought 150-170 was perfect.

Same shock-absorbing bulkhead, same plastic, just a faster straighter design.
