In 1992, I bought a 596 from Capitol Marine in Raleigh. My family loved that boat and so did people wherever we went. Handling was superb and a V6 that pushed it to 53mph made me the envy of friends that had other brands.

Last year we traded "our baby" in on a 220LX with a 350MAG and a Bravo3. WOW!! I pull three slalom skiers up with no problem. Top end? I don't know. The speedo only goes to 65. I didn't think it could get better than the 596. Boy was I wrong.

Thinking of another manufacturer? That would be a mistake.
