I've been spending way too much time working on my son in laws 93 Javelin 379 and not enough time fishing from my Startos 185. So went fishing yesterday
I really like the 379, fun to drive, jumps up on plane in a heartbeat. The Faststrike 150 with the worked Ryker ll and 6" jackplate has plenty of get up and go.
My 185 has more deck space and I really enjoy the boat. I used to think it came up on plane really fast, but no comparison to the 379. The Yamaha VMax runs great with the worked Tempest Plus. I know my PtP is too low (4.5") but I would have to move the motor up to the last mounting holes.
So I'm guessing you know where this post is going.
6" or 8" jack plate??? Brand? I'm assuming manual not hydraulic
And NO I told you so's
