Thats a nice rig...I just bought the same boat but w a omc 225. I dont know why mjne came w a single axle trailer. Good lookn boat.
Thanks done a little research on them just hard to find much info. that there out of business. So any aquired knowledge is much appreciated and I will do the same. And on behalf of the trailer From what I saw most of the 207 came with the tandem axle? I know mines heavy and it will be needed on a long haul has breaks to. Overall I think its a solid boat though ton of storage!!! Wish mine had that 225 loaded down with fuel and livewells she is slower coming out of the hole! One day jackplate will be added and hydraulic steering cables are getting tight turning at idle speed.

I have 6" jackplate, hydrolic steering...the boat is set up perfect. Only thing i have noticed on mine is the step area between the two seats seems to be a little soft. Its sum kinda rubber so maybe supposed to be that way..not sure. Also, i have almost decided that tbe original owner ordered a skngle axle trailer on the boat so he could move it around in his shop. My trailer broke a leaf spring this weekend due to rusting from the inside of the tube. You might want to keep check...I was fortunate that it happened pulling up to a stop sign and notpllwing down the highway. The 225 gets it up and going real good w a 25p tempest plus...it likes to drink though haha
Good looking rig!!:thumb up2: Would love to have that jackplate and steering. As far as inbetween the seat you can remove that pad to step on my is a little solf as well kinda spongy. Just tell the big girls to step directly into the back:roll: About the trailer thats wild, but good thing it did happen and a stop. You should be able to find one that will fit it might not say sprint but many aftermarkets out there. I could see why he would do that tandem is a bear to move around!!!
That's a sweet looking boat. Love the color combo. I have an 02 297 that's white with a red/black stripe. Has a Yamaha 200 HPDI with a 25P T1 prop. I'm thinking about going to a Tempest Plus..
:thumb up2:Thinking bout a prop change myself
I'm actually looking for a 25 tempest plus. If you get a new one and wanna sell yours let me know.
That is a SHARP looking rig!!!
i have a red 207 pro as well, mine is red and silverr, great boat you will enjoy it :)
