Interesting in ll my years doing service on em I have NEVER EVER seen the motors gel flushed. Usually goingfull blast when the boat hits the water and back on deck and off while the fish is dealt to...

Yep thats under "optional water cooling" in the "options" they also go from "Full adhead" to "full astern" in the blink of an eye

They have a 2 position throttle, Flat tack or off

Yep, never seen one here except on the seiners.

Not as far as I am aware, I have an aversion to computer contolled stuff hence why I am happy with my old 2001 SWS electronic nothing. I can pull start mine even with a flat battery.

Yep, I find I have to trim mine bow hard down in the following sea. Also its much more pleasant and less "interesting" to "pilot" when I have a big load on board. I have been in a surtees with the...

The best thing you can possibly do is when you finally take the boats on your short list for a sea trial is to try and pick a day when its NOT flat ass calm and load them up just like you would when...

I have a 12 year old 6.6m Southern Sportz, Cuddy Cabin and 150 Yamie 2 Smoke on the back. Its a good boat but a little trim sensitive. Have a very fine entry. Over all a good boat if somewhat over...
