Thanks cssnms.....she is beautiful.....I thought that was about the length....I still find it amazing those NFL players that were lost at sea in late Feb took a boat that size 50 miles off-shore in unpredictable weather.....very sad and tragic.

Sure was sad... The Everglades 211CC is a great boat (almost bought one) and more then capable of making that trip, the problem was that he did not check the weather because there was a bad front called for that day (6 - 8ft+ seas). What killed them was the poor decision to anchor and tie off at the stern, so they got swamped. Chances are they would still be alive today had he not done that.

Default Very nice

Nice boat and nice Lexus.
I have a 2007 GX470 and a 2005 Sailfish 236 CC with a nine foot beam powered by a F225 (four stroke) Yamaha. My boat is the same color as yours and at first I though someone has posted some pics of my boat, trailer, and Lexus. I've never used the GX to pull the boat but I will this summer.
My boat is for sale if anyone is interested, it is still under warranty, it's in excellent condition and has less than two hundred hours on it's clock. I'm in the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina. Failing health requires that the boat be sold.

Did you find it hard backing up with the boat? I towed my friend BMW couple times, and I find it extremly hard backing up.

It's always fun the first time you try it, especially when people are watching you back down a ramp!
