1995 Howard 220 offshore, still solid and looks good.
AdrenelineOD,
The only thing I noticed before and after Droop the Boat Turns way Better with more Control, This just a Seat of my Pants Feel. More Speed ? haven't noticed, more acceleration ? haven't noticed. I don't have GPS so maybe there is a Differents, but I noticed the Turns. About the Rough Ride? lets face it those Bahners don't even pretend to slice though wakes, I just use mine to get to the nearest cove, open the Cooler, float around & soak up the ray's
85 Laveycraft O/B B/R looks like 5 years old except for the orginal green that dates it.

My 21' Howard is 20 years old. It still has the original gel coat, which is in good shape, but has been repowered several times and reupholstered 1 time. Damn there are quite a few here older than mine and lookin really good. That should say something for the quality built into these boats.
I still don't know how to post a picture here in the forum. VD Cruser you have a private mes.

and my 1989 - 15 year old Campbell 24' Cruiser. This boat is perfect - and I recently replaced all the carpet, upholstery, bimini, upgraded the trailer, and added thru-hull exhaust.

1986 Eliminator sprint. OB. Looks newer but you can see it's age a bit when you look close.This year I've done a lot to the motor and replaced a lot of the O.B.s electronics. I'm currently in the process of getting the powerhead of it's XP 150 V 6 O.B. rebuilt. Then I can start next year with the new rubrail, gel coat touch-up, gauges, etc it will need to look like new. I was tempted to get rid of it when it smoked it 's powerhead, but it has a somewhat unique hull style that has really grown on me....

The Spectra 18 is one of my favorite boats. I will be looking for one in a few years for my daughters, so if you ever want to unload it let me know - I'm about 4-5 years away (my twins are only 13 now). I don't want them going out to the Havasu house and taking my boat out!
