The last year made was 99.I have a 99. Very nice boat, the ride is dry,fast, and a pleasure to drive.32 gal. live well, bait well, large rod box.Mine came with a 115 Johnson, boat is rated for a 140h.p. I know another 99 217 same as mine that's rated for a 150h.p. 30 gal. gas tank that's nice.The 217 sits in the water just right for me.I mainly fish wingdams, handles right in wind and current. If you need more e-mail me bj2@iowatelecom.net

Steve, I run a 13.5--20 Raker prop, that has been worked on by a propshop. Summer months 5,500 rpms 53-55 mph. Right now I could use a couple more inches of prop. Cold weather my 115 realy makes some H.P. 6,000 rpm 56--58 mph.All depends on how much weight it's carying. And how long you want to let it go. The 217 hull is super fast.It's fun to PASS the V6's and watch the look's they give ya! I'm thinking about putting a 135 fitch on it this spring. It might be a rocket. I HOPE... Getting there is half the FUN.
