I like to have her myself. Come on down to Miami ,will do some good dropping and grouper trolling on the reef this Winter. Like I said those Bandits bring back lots of memories in my book.

I could see that backing down a ramp might be a bitch.

Great boat. I used to fish on a buddy's boat jut like yours but it had a gas engine. We used to hi-speed troll for tuna out to & back from the Lobster Claw with it and many times did better at that than chunking at the tuna grounds.

Not really my buddy had a new Freightliner truck and we use to put his 37 Intrepid in Key Biscayne with out a problem. I will ask him he is in the boat transport business.
