Mine is on order with a build date of May 1st if it doesn't slip..
I wanted one, but it's too long for my storage. had to settle for the PT18. if it's good enough for John Cox, it should be good enough for any of us.
Don't own one, but the thing looks h-u-g-e! We wanted a smaller engine, but that would be on our short list if looking at that size boat. I would still like to crawl around in one and fishing out of one would have to be great.

Going to go take a look at one either Thursday, Friday, or Monday. Have to wait until the days play out.
I'm actually looking for info on the pt18. What sold me on it vs the vt18 was the livewell being 11 gallons bigger. Sure, it costs more, but it may be the best deal in used boats.
I bought my PT20 in January and love the fish ability, room and layout of the boat. This boat is huge! The biggest complaint I have about the boat is that you can't trim boat up much at all without it starting to bounce. My hydraulic jack plate helps some with this. Fished a couple of weeks ago in high winds and lake was rolling pretty good the boat sprayed my partner a couple of times. I'm getting about 54mph with conditions right.

What prop do you have on boat?
I'm interested in the PT20 as well..... Watching the FLW Live stream and John Cox has a camera in his boat. That's a big azz front deck on the PT20.

Well I ended up purchasing a PT 20. Waiting to have a jack plate, battery charger, and 2 lowrance hds fish finders installed.
Keep me posted on what prop you end up with. I take it you purchased the one in Macon GA? There haven't been many available.
