Looks like a smooth riding, wake cutting bundle of fun to me.
The old mark twains were great riders too.

Absent girls in swim attire, the background scenery aint' bad either.

Nice looking runabout. Used to have a similar, (not the same brand) 16 footer that was a lot of fun.

btw does anyone know why boat builders put the steering wheel on the wrong side of boats?

Has live well and converts to a fishing platform up front. No electrics/electronics but why would I want that from 1995? Sonar/gps to be added later. Wakeboard too.
The 90hp two stroke motor was hit & mostly miss due to lack of use. couple we bought it from were in their mid eighties and used it 2x a year when the "kids" came. Gummy carbs and a dirty optical ignition seemed to be the only culprits. A friend & I did a night of wrenching & (knock on wood) all good. Ran 7hrs Saturday from 3pm till the super moon came up.

I sold three junkers, non self bail raft, canoe, trailered motorboat with no motor, so the navy actually is drawing down. This is pre-retirement planning.

Should make a nice multi-purpose rig when you get finished.

Can't go wrong with that color scheme either.

That thing looks new, enjoy it. Missouri sure looks different there than it does when it empties into the Miss.
