That guy hangs out on the egg harbor river in new jersey alot...she's a heavy boat takes awhile to get on plane aquaforce that thing need 600 in it...great looking boat though, I would go with a 35 with 525 alot lighter and your not gona miss the three feet...but I see this is an old post so if you bought it its still a nice boat and the way that guy handled that boat it was well taken care of...and a good buy! I would say it was 50/50 salt and fresh water where we all hanged out it was fresh water and that's where I saw him the most...good luck!
