Ive been offered what seems to be a really good deal on an older Javelin boat that has been really taken care of. Was curious if any of you have ever owned one or knew someone who did and could offer up some opinions. Thanks! -------- Javelin boats were sold by OMC Evinrude motors. and was one of 3 boat lines sold by Evinrude motors. I bought a 1998 Hydra-Sports 171 series boat with a 120 hp Johnson on it new in 1999. The Johnson motor is long gone but I still have the Hydra-Sport. It now has a DF 140 hp. SUZUKI on it and I fish with it Year round here on the Cave. Javelin boats were made in the same plant as the Hydra-Sport and was one of that line made in Merfreesboro TN. The company moved to Florida in 1999 and now makes only Salt Water Boats as far as I know. AS long as the boat that you are looking at is in good shape you shoud be OK to go. Good luck and good fishing to you Marv. |
