No ... I bought this boat from another party but I wanted to share photos... Charlie was very helpful in this build. It will have a single 300R on the back as I realize I will not be able to keep up with all the boats one market today but I just want the grandkids to have a fun boat that is economical to run. Another issue I ran into in getting a motor is that there is no max hp tag on the boat. no dealer would even quote me a price as they claimed insurance regulations would not allow them. Also I was told a 400 was approx. 3-4 year wait and I waited long enough for this. my first builder had the boat for 5 years and not much was done but two checks were cashed.....

Impressive perseverance and the photo with Charlie tell it all. I bet the grandkids will be very excited about this ride and hopefully, in 50 years one of them will pass it on. Love the colors, but then I'm partial.
