Made a rear deck insert this year that allows me to have barn dances on it and has created a ton of semi-dry storage.

Has treated me really well but I could be parting with it at the end of the year.

10' flat, 12' aluminum V, and 12' fiberglass airboat - insanely fast on the ice (anyone have a used Lycoming that's not air worthy? I need a new motor and would like to upgrade).

Slamr- reminds me of the Deep Purple tune!

Lambeau- I know that launch! Ha, ha, remember the Forcier "Ice Breaker"?

Have fun!

Thanks Pikespawn! I haven't ridden in too many deep V boats this size, so I don't have too many points of reference. I owned an Alumicraft Lunker 16.5, then a Triton 189, and now this. Chadster likes the Ranger... The hull on this boat is awesome the way it cuts though waves. Very nice ride. I hope to have it for a long time...
