Thought they quit making these in the early 80's. 80's retro or something?

Pat ya remember these?

I don't remember it being a 90's model either, so much for the memory meds I've been taking.

Never drove one, not much of a market here for them. Now the mean 15 on the other hand...that was the real deal.

I snagged a miscolored hull for my cuz in Louisiana, rigged him a 2.0 XR2 on it, that little setup was quite the attention getter. He ran the living guts out of that boat for 12 years and gave it to a nephew, and it's still going. Looks like it's been through grenade practice, but pretty is as pretty does.

Will check brochures this evening. I will be going home later! Yeaaaa!!!

I can't find a 14 footer in my brochures, which only go back to 85, but there was a Mean 15 in 1990.

[MMosher]

interesting....

I remember taking a factory tour and seeing a few of those and a whole passel of mean 15's in wild colors back in the 90's. The guy giving me the tour said they were for export to the japan market, as they have smaller lakes an like smaller boats over there. Maybe someone grabbed one before it was shipped???

Idk,

just a random thought

[MMosher]

Never heard that before, interesting.

COOL LOOKING "BABY CHAMP"!

Japan was a great market for quite a while. Which is why anglers in California got the #1 award because all the japan boats went through them.

And they were F.U.G.L.Y. colors, lot's of yellow and green, purples, yecht....

There are a lot of vehicle manufactures that manufacture stuff for over seas only that you will never see stateside.

does it have a flat backed transom???

[MMosher]

I know the old ones did.

[hydrashack]

I looked in an old brochure I had from 95 and it could be an ev60 which were 14 feet long with a flat transom like that.

[Jasonrs]

wow! i never saw one of these before! I cant imagine a better little boat to have for a kid just getting started.....very cool!!! you could prob tow it with just about anything too! and only burn $10 in gas....this is sounding better and better....

I had missed it first time I looked in the brochures...thanks! I just looked in that brochure and it's weird, but the transom in the photo of the boat is indeed flat across...but, the layout drawing shows normal angles.

None in the 96 brochure...

Pops said back in the day Pace sold a 14 fter to a dealer in Texas and he put and in line 150 on it!

That's pretty good, the most insane rigging I witnessed was in Thibideaux LA, a guy bought a mean fifteen and hung a 225 promax on it. And then drove it...I didn't hang a radar gun on it, but it was really quick.

[MMosher]

Wow, just wow
