Nice!

 

I'm struggling to come to terms with the new power to hull ratio standards. Back in the day when I played with boats 5 1/2 Johnsons were the norm for fishing and us kids and a 35 HP was a big deal, something we used for skiing. Obviously that was long ago.

 

I believe it was back in the late 80's I saw a kid with a 75 Horse tiller on an oversized rowboat rippin' & snortin' down in Ft.Myers and I thought that was pretty awesome. This whole 300 HP concept is a very bad thing for a guy who never outgrew his speed fixation. There's a reason my wife only lets me have normal vehicles these days. She says I act very undignified when I get near powertoys.

 

Again - very very nice. I doubt I'd ever shut it down to fish.

Sweet ride!

Although I prefer Lund type aluminum boat, Ranger 620/621 is only one of two fiberglass boats i will look for (another one is Boston Whaler).

I think 57 mph makes sense if motor is 4 stroke, especially on choppy water.
