Your Vulture should have molded recesses in the deck for cleats, just like the Venus.Quote:

It will be nice to tie up to a dock like a normal person instead of people telling me hey your boat is floating away !!!! Belive me I hear that all the time.
Blue 1 6" 250 h.o Etec :thumbsup: :D

This Venus XT was on hydrosream.org and was quoted as running upper 90's with a stock 2.5-225 Pro Max. The V-bottom with a good sized V6 (3.0 + black or white) will make for an interesting rig. Some swim-steps and an original low-pro shield would really set it Dan's boat off. :thumbsup:
