My new SeaArk finally arrived at the dealership this week. They are doing the final assembly and prep and I will be picking it up next Wed. Here are a few pics the dealer sent me. I will post more when I get it all set up. It's a SeaArk 2072 vfx center console with Suzuki DF150 and Marine Master...

Looks like your suggestion went over like the old proverbial turd in the punchbowl.

I was asking about pulling a tube using the tie-down eyes on the back of the boat on a couple sites yesterday. All responses said it'd be fine so that's what I'm going to do. I wouldn't mind having a raised tow bar but my boat will be used for fishing 99% of the time so to me it isn't worth the...

My ordered boat won't be ready until April but I already bought a pair of their saltwater version of these seats. Not sure about the freshwater version but the strap on the sides of the seat are adjustable on the saltwater version to recline the seat back if you want. Also, from reports on...

Yes. I had the dealer install 2 extra seat bases as you described.

I owned an 09 g3 1756cc with 60 yamaha. It was a pretty good boat and the motor was great. It came with a Bear trailer and it wasn't that great. The wheels and fenders started rusting pretty quickly. The boat was only used in freshwater. Other than the trailer it was a nice set up for its...

I had an 09 G3 1756 CC with 21 gal rear mounted fuel tank. It had a 2010 Yamaha f60 and full of fuel and with 2 men would do 32 mph according to gps. The boat wasn't bad and the motor was fantastic but the Bear trailer wasn't the best. It only saw freshwater and the wheels and around the fenders...

Check out the SeaArk vee jon models. Might be a little bigger than you want but they have a reputation of building nice all-welded boats and the vee jons have a 15* deadrise.

Richg99 how often are you in Houston? I grew up in Pasadena and my family is still down in that area. I will be dragging my tinny 800 miles down there to fish a few days next summer. The only boat we had growing up was an old 14ft aluminum jonboat with an old 9.9 merc on back that dad...

Made my decision yesterday. I put a down payment on a SeaArk 2072 VFX Deluxe CC. I went with a tandem axle aluminum trailer and Suzuki DF150. I originally wanted a DF140 but after seeing mixed reviews about its performance I decided on the 150. It won't be in until April or so but I will post...

I'm near Manchester and Tullahoma. Off I-24 about 60 miles east of Nashville. I'm near Normandy and Tim's Ford lakes. The crappie guide I went with on Old Hickory says they fish Normandy in the fall for big crappie. Also heard that if you can't catch a crappie on Reelfoot that you shouldn't be...

richg99 no I haven't fished the Chick. To be honest other than setting out a few juglines on Normandy lake a couple times and going out with a crappie guide on Old Hickory once I haven't done much freshwater fishing. Growing up in TX we'd wade in East Bay and fish the jetties and beachfront in...

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to go ahead and spring for the tandem when I buy. I don't want to have regrets after I make my purchase. Probably going to get SeaStar hyd steering vs BayStar while I'm at it. Buy once, cry once.

I won't be getting a jackplate. It'll be pods or nothing.

Did you get the float pods? I may order the 2072 vfx in January and am debating on whether or not to get them. Some people say get them others say not necessary. I'm looking at the deluxe center console with Suzuki df140a, hydraulic steering, ss prop, rear deck mounted leaning post and single...

After Jan 2nd I will know if I'm getting a new boat or not. If I do it will be a SeaArk 2072 VFX with Suzuki DF140A on back. Still debating whether or not to get floatation pods and dual axle or single axle trailer. I figured with boat, motor, trailer, fuel, etc total weight will be around 3k...

That's a nice story. That was awful kind of her to give you that old motor. Knowing its history has to bring back fond memories.

I think I've decided when I'm ready to make the purchase I'm going with the 115 Pro XS with command thrust (2.38:1 gear ratio). It should put me in the mid-40mph range. Plus, being able to run a larger prop should give better acceleration and, as Pappy said, carry the boat better at mid-range...

I'm considering a SeaArk 2072 vfx. The hull weighs 1250 lbs, it has a 15* deadrise, is 20' long and has a 94" beam. It is rated for up to 175 hp but money is a factor. Would a Mercury 115 Pro Xs command thrust or a Suzuki 140 be a better choice? I've read that they both produce 126 hp. Hard to...

This might be the way to go. Thanks for the info
