My first boat was one of these. It was a 1985 model that I bought in 1990. I kept it until 2004. It had a Merc straight 6 115HP and was a great boat. It ran surprisingly good with the 115. It would run 53 mph on gps and had a decent ride for an 18' boat. My girls grew up on that boat and they were sad when I finally sold it. As the ad says, this one is a little rough but I can tell you they are solid boats and with a little TLC and carpet you'd have a great inexpensive first boat. Mine would pull tubes or skiers with ease! The pictures bring back good memories of my Dynatrak emoThumbsup
