    why would they? We have Phoenix, Skeeter, Triton, Ranger and many more. Can't figure out what they cost by viewing their web site.

    Nice looking boat for a small rig. Wind blows way too much around here for that small of a boat.

    I had a 16 foot bass boat at one time. It was a one person boat at best. I couldn't imagine anything smaller.

    Let's keep in mind, in 1972, a 16' bass boat was a big big boat. The standard was 14'. Us old geezers fished successfully for many years out of these boats. It is the fisherman not the boat.

    I remember fishing team tournaments in a 14' aluminium bass boat.

    True, but in the early 80's I fished with a guy in Indiana on Wawasee who had a fiberglass 15' dual console bass boat. Don't remember the make. Had to turn sideways to sit down, slide 1 bent leg under console & keep other leg between consoles to be able to sit somewhat straight. He had to do the same to be able to drive it. Was like playing twister to get up & down. I'm 6'1 & he was about same height as me. Probably why my first boat was a 16&1/2 footer with a 150. If a small boat like that makes you happy & is a good fit then good for you. It just won't work for me, but I also spend a lot of time on big water ,too. If money was no problem, today I would have a 522D for big water & a 19' er for smaller waters.

    Regulations in Japan are different than USCG in the states.

    And yes we knew it was an old thread.
    It’s still the same.

    Looks like a fun little boat as long as you don't expect it to ride and feel like a big boat. Wouldn't be a bad option for smaller lakes, hp limited lakes, and creeks and people that don't need a whole tackle store in their boat all at the same time.
