New 2020 Firefish 17 foot Convict build

[Chrisco]

This must be a brand new model for them. I do not see anything on the Firefish website.

Yes it is.

Sounds like it will be a great all around boat, congrats. You already run pretty skinny in your green one. I may have to swing by their shop and have a look at one.

Nice to see they put the narrower exhaust manifolds on 6.2 DI motors again.

I wish I did boat looks like it works awesome. Sounds like it was slipping a bit, could maybe use a bit more impeller or maybe had rocks in the grate. This had a 5.3 Chris is put a 6.2 in his. Going to be crazy!

We did pick up some rocks, but it has a 2.4 in it right now and will get a 2.9 next time out. The 2.4 is sweet but it would be better with an insert I think he might go that way.
