I need to get my prop info but it looks to be a stainless prop.
I've been pleased so far but this is my first "real" power boat.
It turns very well and feels stable in the turn.
Flossy your boat sounds great.......do have any pics you could share ??
Here's a couple outside...
and inside...
I don't have many pics of the interior yet. I'll get some and get them posted to the intro board.

One good piece of advice is to shop around. I went to several boat shows and had my wife and her friends along so they could sit in the seats and see how the various furniture arrangements worked. Drive the thing if you can for sure.
Also don't get tied to one dealer. I had a dealer quote me a factory order boat with lesser options for $4k more than what I paid for the boat we bought which ended up being on the lot at another dealer.
Do your research on the internet. Most dealers keep their stock posted there. Call for pricing if you have to.

Thanks for the advice and info..... We still have a smaller boat in my other lift that we can get out on the water with. I just wish there was an upcoming boat show somewhere in the south to check out. My wife and I both recently retired so we have plenty of time to look.
