Hello all,
Creeped this board last spring and ended up purchasing a well used/little loved 95 Premier Sunsation 250 Tritoon with a 1990 Evinrude 150. Had never owned a boat before and wanted to dip my toes in. It was summer for the books, it included bunks breaking on the trailer, a blown engine, and being towed twice. It was a great education. Though it all we found that we loved tooning so I stepped up this spring to a new Premier Sunsation 250RF. Can't wait to get this baby on the water!

When you get out on the water, throw the throttle to it, trim the nose high and see what she'll do--GPS MPH?????

We'd all be interested. It's seldom do we see this engine on a tritoon. They're really strong, and get remarkably good mpg for the power produced.

I guess I have some...uh...ex step relatives in Yankton. My sister lived there for years, and was married to a guy (since passed) who had two kids. I think they still live there. I also used to work for a guy from near Norfolk. Welcome to the zoo!

Got it out on the water a lot this summer, but not as much as I would like, got 44MPH GPS out of this set up with me, the wife and 3 small kids on board.

Welcome !

Is that a tow ring around that motor? I need one of those! Wonder if I can attach it to my Honda?
