Wondering if anyone has one of these. A friend of a friend has a 1985 he was thinking of selling only he's out of town so I can't see it for a week and meanwhile I have a different boat I'm interested in. Not sure if I should hold off until he is back or not. I can't find any pics on line. Trying to gauge if it would work for a small river that can get pretty shallow in spots (2 feet or so).

Would love some input if anyone is familiar with the model.

2 feet is nothing. I run in 12-18" commonly in a war eagle without issue.

2', you could sink that boat in 2'. There are times I'd run over spots that were 8" or so with muddy bottoms, get on plane, run at WOT and keep it there till you clear the low spot.

Thanks guys. I bought the boat. The price was so good I figured I'd try it. If it doesn't work out for me I can easily make my money back or even a profit.
