Any body still around? I have a 2072MV cc with a 90 Yamaha 2 stroke and I love it. It sips gas and runs like a scalded dog. Just right for me and fishing inshore on the big bend of Florida.

Im hurt because Santa Clause didnt bring me a "BIG DADDY" Im thinking the 24'MV with a 225hp on it would clip right along to my favorite catfishing hole.

I wish they were a pure flat bottom, no ribs molded in. But still have a slight curvature to them, would make a wicked fast shallow water boat.

Hey, I am looking at getting one of these, and want to take wife and two kids out in it. Fishing mostly how is it for safety and things like live well and bilge and would you recommend a larger engine? Or is the 90 more than emough with several people and gear?

Thanks

The 2072MV is rated for 90HP. In my opinion that is plenty. Lots of folks around here run them with 60-70Hp. It jumps right on plane and runs 40MPH with me and two grandsons. I bought a bare hull and trailer and rigged it out myself, so I had to install a baitwell. Plenty of choices that way.8)

Hey Marv, that sounds like a lot of fun on a tight bend. I wound up in the grass and mud one time with a 16' Monark jon and 40Hp Johnson. That thing would slide sideways.:^

Thanks all,

I am picking up a new boat this week, went with a center console RiverCat with a 140 Suzuki, so hopefully I will have some good news to report.
