I've wanted it soooo much.
The thought of having that torquey 200hp V8 and 69" MT prop out there really does it for me. <insert drooling smiley here>
However with the weight of 2" more shoulder width, 14" stretch, 26gal fuel, retracts PLUS around 460lbs of FWF* puts me well over the magic 1200lb mark. :depressed
It's too **** heavy! :dis:
That's all I had to say really.... I'm going to go sulk and look at what I've got to choose from now.:wail:
