I cancelled and had to reorder but all 2021 boats were pre sold so it had to be a 2022. I got it in August 2022 and it was worth the wait. I have a Merc 115 Pro XS giving around 45 MPH and have an 80 pound Terrova on the bow. It has a 7 inch Lowrance Hook reveal on the bow and a 7 inch Lowrance HDS on the console. It takes the big Lake Champlain waves well.

That 4 stroke Merc is so quiet you forget it's running when sitting at idle.
