I thought the 700 was the best there could be, until we got our first S4, what a great craft to motorize.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, this craft is the Ultimate in small craft versatility. It lends itself to any kind of propulsion, paddles, electric trolling motor, and especially a small gas outboard. This thing handles like a dream. She wants to track nice and straight until you turn her, then she can turn on a dime. Now I truly didn\u2019t get a lot of time on the water with her, because we sold her already.

He is in love with his new craft, and the custom rigging we did for him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
