I’ve never heard of them, but saw one on the water this weekend. Looked like a pretty nice boat and see they’re made in Iola, WI

Portage, WIOctober 18, 2010 at 3:03 pm #904736They look nice but I have never seen one up close. They could be great or they could be like a cross dresser in a dimly lit bar. From a distance they look pretty hot, but when you get up close you realize its some dude in a wig. The only way to know what its sporting under the flashy exterior is to take it for a ride.

what kind of bars is Whiskerkev dragging you to?!?!
There was a muskie tournament on Monona yesterday and the guy who owned the boat stopped by me to chat thinking I was in the tournament. I inquired about his boat and he told me a little about it. From a few feet away, it looked like a quality ride with a nice layout. Obviously couldnt see the fit and finish, but they look like a boat worth checking out for anyone in the market.

Is that what you did? I wouldn’t tell your friends!

October 19, 2010 at 4:28 pm #904893Hey Phish
Sorry for pulling up om you on Sunday! We like to talk to the guys while they are fishing and you happened to be in with a few of the other boats that were in the Ironman.
How did your day go fishing wise? The guys that were fishing musky in the tournament did OK ( 7 fish for 25 teams)This is my first year with Recon and I will say that the boat is great. I was a Pro Staffer with Crestliner for 6 years before I made the switch. I wanted to go to a glass boat and had sold Rangers and a few others over the past few years. Last fall I seen one of these at the Three Lakes MI fall tournament and after taking a better look I was sold!
I have been running it all season starting in KY in March and I have now well over 100 days on the water with it and have yet to have 1 problem that was boat realated. They are built super well and have a real nice fit and finish. It is very stable and also very fast.
If anyone would like a test drive I would be happy to take you out for one.
