My family is looking at buying a 2001 ranger 619 or a 620. I have heard that the 620 is front heavy and has had some troubles with nose diving into waves? Is this true? I have also heard that the 620 is slower compared to the 619. Does anybody know if this is right?, how fast does the 620 go with a 225 and the 619 with a 200. I also have one last question, I am wondering if the 2001 or 2002 optimax's (200&225) are good motors? I am wondering if they are still having any problems after mercs updates to them. So if you can help me with any of this and give your opinions, it would be appreciated.
thanks

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.
