Default interesting

I prefer plain white glass boats, those are my personal preference. I was sad to see the metal flake explosion but all that being said...I really really like the looks of this boat. The copper/black scheme looks fantastic!

white is a lot easier to color match to your vehicle too.

Sounds like everybody's got their own opinion. That's why we live in America. We can still have our own opinion. I think it looks pretty cool, but not wild about the rims & tires. I hate that look on pickups too.

Thanks. Some quick research on Tirerack.com shows only 2 choices in that size, both Kumho's, with a max load rating of 1819# @ 51psi per tire. Not a lot of additional capacity, for a rig that is probably every bit of 3000# axle weight.

Thumbs up Tp185

I have looked at this boat at the mpls show and it has changed quite a bit since I got mine in 04.
Think I'll stay with mine. 2004 tournament sport 185, 200hp Johnson 4 stroke, 3500 lb shorlander trailer.
I run load range D tires on mine.

I wish the new ones still carried the 200 hp rating. My 2014 TP 185 is only rated for a 175.
