[@ryank5657]

5:27 good ole lake boat 👌🏽

[@flaplaya]

It seems that you are correct. Good point.

[@snapshot12002]

That boat sounded like it shifted. They dont have a trans in these do they?

[@ryanblaire3924]

I Believe that one has a 2 speed Lenco trans, it shifts, never ridden in it, but seen it in person and it's on my bucket list

[@xd-oy5pr]

snapshot12002 yes they do

[@robertcates4066]

Hydros sometimes do, flat bottom do not, the shift would upset the flat bottom. Can't have an upset flattie.
