Re: aerodyne history (noobfactor)
A buddy of mine had one. He ran a 200 Mariner on it, and it would pass most anything on the water. I rode in it one day (didn't drive it) and it buried the speedometer (80 mph top). Now that was a speedometer speed. No idea how fast it was really going, but I had to hold my hand over my nose to make it easy to breathe. It would turn like it was on rails.
It wasn't a very good fishing boat I understand. I never fished out of his. We were in the same club, and since we were both boaters, we never got paired up, but others told me it rode rough, and they said the live wells were shallow, and would beat the fish (and the riders) to death in rough water. True or not, I have no idea.
I don't think I ever saw but two of them, his, which I believe was an '87 but may have been an '86, and one other one. His was red by the way. As I said in the other post, the hull was a more or less copy of a Stratos hull from a few years before, and Shadow also built a boat on the same basic hull design.
The tunnel hull fad was just that. They never really caught on with the average fisherman and they faded into a footnote in bass boat history.
The Aerodyne was a well built boat though. It should serve you well.
