I was browsing through Ranger's HSOforum a few days ago and noticed they now have a 1750 Reata. Couple questions though...
First, it looked like the boat has a fiberglass floor in the main deck. Anyone know if this could be carpeted?
Also, the max. hp is 130hp...what's up with that??? Couldn't they have gone to 135 so that a guy could put a 135 Optimax on there instead of having to go with the 115?
I'm really interested in the 1750, but with those two questionable items, I'd probably go with the 1850, which would cost more money.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
