its a really nice boat, the ttop is very solid, im not a big fan of 4 strokes, it has an f 150, its new so we didnt hammer it but for a quick shot at 5 grand it hit 41 with a 17p prop still has another 1000 rpms to go, as you can see the water was calm, the boat has a nice solid feel, we did some fast turns and it really turns very sharp, now if it only had an ox66 200
I really like the Sea King. Thats one of Reds boats right? New Suffolk boat ramp? I'm wanting to take one out sometime. I really like the looks of the 21 but wasn't crazy about the layout.
Hey eider, Didn't you have a sailfish218 ? I'm asking because I really liked that boat and I had asked you about it after you sold it. The funny thing is I bought a 206 kencraft 1998 with a 200 optimax. It's basically the same boat but kencraft changed the name to sea king and now the boat doesn't have the 35 gal. livewell and the mold is new. I think it is 6" bigger. If you get it good luck I'll see you out in the fire island inlet.
yea I had a 218 sailfish, I was just helping red out with props on the sea king, I have a sea hunt 232 now thats just waiting for april to roll around!!!!
oh I didnt know that testing props was best done on a day that has a small craft advisory, my bad, we also took pictures for a brochure not sure if theres a better day for that!!

No biggie, I missed the part about testing props; all I saw was sea trial.
