    Yes its a 20.5 Ft Four Winns Sundowner w/ a 350 Volvo Penta Duo Prop. I towed it from Cincinnati to Lake Norman NC. It was about an 10 hour drive. Tacoma does pretty good towing it, you def. know its back there. I got some Dakar rear leafs that really helped handle the extra weight.

    Very nice! Must go like hell with the 350 and duo prop.
    I was looking at the 24 ft Sundowner and will probably change to the 20 ft. Looking for a good lake boat that my Taco can pull and that looks to be the one.

    The fastest I had it was 51 mph. The Duo prop is great for getting you out of the hole in a hurry w/ full load or towing a skier. I think a 24ft would be a little much for the Tacoma to tow, it could handle it for short distanced but I dont think I would want to tow it far. Overall I think that I will be a FW owner for life. My 97 has almost 600 hrs and runs like a champ. GL with your boat search. Post some on here when you find one. If you need specific FW information try ifourwinns.com.

    Here's the boat I decked for 4 years but got contracted to BP for the oil spill :(.

    boati.jpg This was acouple months before the Oil. After we got back from a bottom trip.

    boat wake.jpg Best day, Cummins engines pulling a wake from hell lol. This was the day we had a severe thunderstorm and lighting struck about 40 yards from the boat as we were reeling an amberjack up. That thing fried...

    I see that blue taco is or was a deck hand...... looking to find anyone that works on a boat. I am thinking about starting up a charter service, right now for bass fishing but after I retire.......... deep sea fishing. Just wanted to get some facts and do some research. Thanks for the help guys.

    I am just researching now, thinking about starting a charter service up here in NY for bass, you know pickerel stuff like that. I have lots of lakes around and I have been fishing since I was 6 or 7. Time to make some money doing it. Then after I retire I want to move somewhere tropical and start a deep sea charter. Just doing some research now....

    Believe me I want to be somewhere tropical right now I have less then 10 years to go where I will be able to retire. Right now I can just turn a hobbie into a cash cow. I have been hammering largemouth bass for the past 8 years like its my job. These last 2 years I have broken all of my old records. This year alone I caught a 5 lber and I hooked up to about 4 that got away. Just getting some great fishing in....

    I have to check some out. I would also want to start out slow with that and be a co angler. I dont do well under stress of competition though.... lol. Good idea though. At least I should do some local tournaments there is a fishing club that has tournies all the time near by,I will hit one of them up this year.
