Dont know about all the spitting on this post, but,, i have a 2006 25 Proline CC, and its been a wonderful boat to fish from. It has brought my family years of enjoyment. NO lamination, and built like a tank. Sorry to see the company having issues, This economy has evveryone tighening their belts. My Proline is Mercury powered and has a bracket mounted 225. Sometimes i wish the engine was larger but it has proven reliable and only requires general maint and replacement parts. Just my 2 cents, Been fishing the waters off of Boynton Beach , and now Pompano florida for years, We also had a 23 Key West , and it has also served us well, sold the Key West, and now we no longer trailer the Proline, we purchaced a home on the intra-coastal and are still enjoying our NON laminating Proline.

OK.. i'm a guy that spent 40 years boating in South Florida.. 4 years ago i relocated to upstate NY.. On the Hudson River.. I took my 23 Key West WA up here with me.. If you have to deal with Snow Load, Shrink Wrap is the thing to do "HANDS DOWN" ...Be careful about taking advice from Flat Landers about winterizing a boat for the Northeast. Blue traps are good for covering your roof after a hurricane ,but SUCK for snow and winter protection on your boat, especially a larger boat with a wider beam.! Its quite reasonalbe ($$) up here to have it done annually. Of course the best solution is to have your boat kept inside for the winter.

Perhaps in his dreams.. Funny ,,he has seen so many he can't remember where. There have been sitings in LA LA Land I'm told.

The Answer is,,, You should SEA TRIAL the boats on your pick list , and the answer will be much clearer to you.. Our opinions will help ,, but its YOUR opinion the counts,, only a few things can be determined when its sitting on a trailer, or in a showroom,, Sea Trial is the key to your happiness.

If he can't feed his family selling boats he needs to find another gig. The used boat market as well as the new boat market is soft
. Lower prices, and lower offers are the order of the day. If i was looking for a boat in this market i would lead with a low ball offer too. Tell me who wouldn't and i'll show you someone who is not being forthright. all that nonsence is...... "Salesman Speak"

I think you meant a real pain in the ass to put on with 1 person..

My 2550 Pursuit had plenty of free board , and felt very comfortable at the combing pad level.

i have had great luck with Kodiak, both the silver clad and the stainless,,good product..!

top quality hull,,

usually depends on how many hours on the unit. If you have allot of hours and you have the lower unit apart, go for it,, water pumps and impellers are a vital part of your boating "peace of mind" My suggestion is to do them both. Cost will be a slice of heaven compared to loosing all water flow from the pump, while out in the boat.

Public boat ramps are a great place to see rookies and weekend warriors in action, a good time can be had by all that take the time to watch.. Also a good place to learn,,WHAT NOT TO DO.

Go Figure,, a good Saturday Morning ,,when fishing is not in the cards.. a six pack and a good seat at the public boat ramps are a fun morning .... anything goes..!

Sounds like a faulty switch or sending unit (solenoid) or replacement of both..
