Sometimes they forget to install the rodholders (though the problem was fixed later).

I spoke to my friend and talked him into taking boat out yesterday.
The boat is indeed built well, I new that before we even we put it in the water.
As I stated before the boat is extremely sensitive to trim and tab adjustment.
Had a difficult time keeping boat level in seas which caused it to land awkward and shutter.
When the boat land or reenters level the ride was good, problem is dose not land level very often.
I struggled with the same situation when I sold Triton. Tried different props on center motor, outside motors.
Finally gave up and just ran boat at slower speed on sea trials with customers.
Brunswick has still not fixed this problem. The fish ability of boat is great, fuel burn, not so good due to bottom and having to use tabs to try to keep boat level. Good boat in my opinion for the average fisherman, if you get the deal on pre owned.
Would never buy one myself new for that kind of money the boat just falls short of other boats out there in the market.
Topped boat off with fuel and ran 60 miles at 5200 RPM or less due to sea conditions.
Our burn for the the day was 85 gallons.

Just curious, Endless Ocean what year is your boat.
I see you have the Yamaha V-8"S.
Can you now buy the boat with Yamaha or just pre rigged Yamaha?

That's not my boat I got that photo from the thread I posted below it. The guy's name is kcarnesmd on this site. His is slightly custom so I'm not sure about rigging 350s.

Looks like you didnt check off the right option , rod holders on both side, see price list $$$$

Real Screamer · 09-13-2008, 08:21 AM

Checked with freind in Carolina who is triton dealer.
Tells me that you can order Yamaha pre rig.
That is indeed my point or one of them I should say. You have to add rod holders as a option, on a fish boat that sure makes good sence. (NOT)
