What The Heck is THIS?

I think it's kinda cool.  Prolly the slowest bass boat at the tournament tho.

It's certainly one the the truest "Fish-N-Ski" boats I've ever seen... It's leaning much more closely to a true Ski Boat than any off those outboard fishing boats they stick tow pylons on.

Is that the look your going to give me when I pull up to the dock to go wakeboarding with a livewell full of Stripe in this thing ?

Depends on how you plan on cooking it for me.... 
Haven't had striped bass, that I know of, actually.

It might be just the ticket for trolling for Musky! you need to run much faster then trolling for anything else I have ever trolled for something in the range of surfing! So fill some live wells and wet bait boxes surf and troll away! You may want to keep the hooks in front of the surfer. But Musky like fast in the wash of the boat.  Second thought keep the hooks behind the surfer, it will give the rider some incentive to perform!

surf trolling would sure pass the time of "fishing" a heck of a lot better.

time to fess up, sound off if you're bidding on it!

I have not, yet...

[chris4x4gill2]

Well, I am looking for a center console....... if the price doesn't get put of hand, I might be a player.

[Bill_AirJunky]

I showed it to the boss at work. Would be a great work boat with a couple of simple mods. Not a player yet, but they are kicking it around.

[BadgerBoater55]

I would say this is EXACTLY what the boat was made for! 

[APoko]

8 hours left... current bid is $5,200... Who's buying it??

[DUKENO1]

And it even comes with what looks like "soon to detonate" Goodyear Marathons!

 

[Bill_AirJunky]

So it sold for $8400...... fess up. Who bought it?!

The lowest slung and most notorious chili-dipping hull Bu has ever made as a bay/flats/big water boat? Not me. 

[chris4x4gill2]

Went out of my price range, but thats about what i expected it to go for.

[UWSkier]

Low freeboard and slot-car handling in a stand-up rig.  What could go wrong?

[Bill_AirJunky]

I bet with 2 people standing behind the engine while it's under way, the boat rides with the bow higher than in the original configuration.

We drive our center consoles sitting down, especially at high speed in rough water.

LOL it's back!!!

[justgary]

FYI to anyone wondering, the FL registration number seems consistent with a 2016 registration in the state.

That's a great looking boat!

[Steve B.]

Very cool for the right buyer. Not too different from the old Fish Nautiques. Anybody else here that old? ha.  For fish folks that would be cool on lots of lakes around here. Looks well done.

Yeah...  The guys at the factory were having some fun with a hull back in the day.  I think John had that one built.

I can confirm that John (aka Walkabout) Sisson had this custom made. I am still good friends with his son. This idea was before MC launched the CXT. I worked at a dealership during a summer and we actually had this on the lot for a while.
