This year we finally did it. We've wanted a boat for a few years and with an over-crowded Lake Powell trip coming in less than a month, we pulled the trigger on this used boat. It has 290 hours on it the 300 HP 5.7 liter fuel injected motor. It's got a Volvo Penta Duo-prop with F4 props on it. It's 22.5 feet long and about 25.1 feet with the swim deck. The interior is in really good shape and the outside of the boat only show minor scrapes in certain areas.
It seems to be a really good size for our family. We took it to Utah Lake twice, Jordanelle Reservoir once, and twice to Lake Powell before putting it away for the winter (writing this post in November). The extended family Lake Powell trip was in August and then we went again for a shorter trip in September with our friends Tyler and Robin Hobbs and their kids. It was a really nice summer and we got to see a bit more sun than usual because of this fun new toy. We put 40-50 hours on the boat in those trips alone. I had to replace the Perfect Pass gauge after the 1st Lake Powell trip, but other than that, the boat ran flawlessly.
