Ideally designed for inland waterways as well as rough seas, and like all boats, the 243cc uses the patented RAMCAP construction process to create an unsinkable family fishing boat for the safest experience on the water. This boat has had every service done and has been detailed regularly. A 2007 Honda 225hp 4-stroke engine runs like a charm, is very fuel-efficient, and rides great even in bigger seas. Top speed is about 39 mph; at 4,000 rpm with two people and half fuel, speed is about 27 mph and consumption is about 8.5 gph. General Specs: Draft: 16" Fuel capacity: 80 gal. Beam: 8'2" Weight (est.): 3,500lbs. (w/o engine) Fishing amenities abound, including an aft 36-gallon live well, a 75-gallon in-floor fish box, port and starboard tackle lockers and customized with a total of 27 rod holders (details below)! The ergonomic center console features the industry's first adjustable sliding windshield. The unique Plexiglas windshield slides up and down and locks in any position. The hardtop with color-matched underside features red LED lights, white spreader lights, built-in speakers, electronics boxes, four rocket launchers along the top's aft edge, six openings to accommodate rod tips, and three rod holders mounted at waist level on each side of the console. Also custom installed are 5 rod holders on the backside of the rocket launcher. Wide, easy-to-step-on gunwales feature flush-mounted rod holders, five on each side. Forward, built-in side nets keep life jackets easily accessible yet out of the way. The command seat is a combo seat/leaning post with swing-up footrest; the V-shaped bow has cushions for seating as well as a cushion and backrest for the forward cooler. White powder-coated rails and red LED lights are located throughout the boat for added safety and add a cool ambiance at night. All cushions brand new in February 2014. The trailer was completely overhauled in 2015 and new brakes were added. CUSTOMIZATIONS ADDED: Rod holders are everywhere on this boat, 27 in total, 11 added in 2010. The 18-foot Rupp fixed-pole outriggers were replaced with Rupp 15-foot extendable/collapsible riggers in 2010 for easier storage. Stock speakers replaced with top of the line JL custom speakers throughout in 2010, two directly overhead in hardtop, two forward facing in electronics box overhead for a total of four. Aquatics stereo includes remote control and iPod/iPhone jack. Simrad AP24 autopilot was added in 2010: saves gas by going straight to where you want. It’s like having an extra person in the boat and absolutely great for trolling. At the end of the day put the GPS Crosshairs on the Inlet and hit “go to” and let the autopilot drive you there. Just sit back and relax. A second Digital Furuno FCV-620 Sounder that has a Thru Hull Transducer was added in 2010. So, there are two sounders (fishfinders), one overhead and the Furuno GP-7000 GPS unit at the console. The layout of all the electronics was planned in 2010 so that the Furuno GPS/Sounder and the autopilot are directly next to each other down low on the center console and the overhead box was customized with the aquatics stereo and the Furuno Digital Sounder so you can easily see the sounder from the back of the boat overhead. Also included above your head is a VHF radio. 12-volt electrical outlets added under each gunwale for electric kite reels or deep drop electrical reels if you desire that style of fishing. A Keep Alive Air Bubbler System was added in addition to the Live Well Pump. This Keep Alive system circulates micro fine bubbles into the baitwell to keep extra bait alive for long periods of time. The three toggle switches at the console can be set to just the regular bait well pump or both the regular livewell pump and KeepAlive Air Bubbler System combined at once when you have a lot of bait in the well. Ten-gallon fresh water hose wash down as well as a raw water hose was added. A removeable bait tackle station was added that can be removed with sea suckers. Two Birdsall marine custom safety gaff holders were installed under the gunwales, one for a larger gaff and one for a smaller gaff. Stainless steel gas shocks were installed in all compartments doors so they close easier and slower so as to protect children from getting their fingers jammed. LED green and red navigation lights were installed in 2011 up under the hard top on the sides of the electronics box so your navigation lights never get wet and are easily visible.
