    Looking at a 1994 Javelin 389, thoughts?

    I'm looking at a '94 Javelin 389 with an Evinrude 175.

    Any thoughts or recommendations on this boat?

    Any and all responses are appreciated!

    The '94 389's were great boats. Course I might be a little biased since I owned one. Check everything out, and if all is well, enjoy it. Great boat, great ride and an all-around good fishing platform. Not to mention fast, if you get it set up right.

    '97 389 w/ 150 FastStrike........Great boat. If everything checks out, you can't go wrong with a Javelin. The 389 is a very quick hull and will surprise you at top speed. The boat fishes great and will really get you into some skinny water. It drives like a sports car.....Fast and handles great. Good Luck!!!

    Great Boat! I have a 92 with the hot 150 1991 intruder, love it. Would not hesitate to buy a new one if they still made them.

    You can't go wrong with that boat. Fast stabile in the water and just a plain overall great fishing rig. I love taking them oin trade, they don't stay around long if they're sharp!
