After many failed attempts with the engine not playing ball, it all finally works... mostly! The boat is a Ryds 435FC with a mid 90's Johnson 40Hp. Goes really well when it works!
Hi. I am looking at buying an Ryds 435 FC. I would be very grateful if you could review the boat, any issues, things to look out for are you happy with it? Many thanks.
Hi, it's a great boat. Easy to launch and recover. With 40hp on the back it cruises at about 18knots, will be on the plane at about 13 - 14knots and tops out at about 21knots. Handles choppy water well, but is only a small boat so not suitable for very rough water. Comfortable with 3 people on board, gets a bit cramped with 4 adults, unless you use the cuddy but that can get bouncy on the move. Overall its a great boat, I'll be keeping mine for many years to come I think.
@@crazedbasslover great thanks for the reply. Im looking for a small boat for fishing that will fit in my garage. This boat and a seahog seajeep are the two that seem to fit the bill best. Good to hear your holding on to it, thats always a good sign.
