Insider Info On Javelin Boats B4 I Buy

[shallow hull]

Hi,
I'm new to Javelin Boats. Looking for a good fish&ski. Found a 1994 Javelin 379 FS, with a 150hp Evinrude. Looks good, says it runs great. Is there anything special I should be aware of, or any inherent problems with Javelin boats? Something I should look for?
Thanks!

I bought a 1995 379 last fall and love it. Very smooth ride, and pulls tubes, skiers with ease. Mine has a 115 hp outboard, and although not really fast, will get you around a lake in good time. It is comfortable to fish from, and roomy enough for 4 when tubing, although a tube takes up a lot of space. It's hard to get in from the ladder.

Some of the hoses were old and brittle, but I've only spent around $400 to get it up to snuff/lake ready. Looking forward to some warmer weather/water temps to start catching some crappie!

Hope this helps...
