I do like those Argos!
how much are they new?
arent they made from exotic materials

Any info on the manufacturers?

got it..

Had a look and sent some emails, so fingers x'd thanks for that bud!

also Argo pics, thanks!

Looking for a Tint but nothing so far, was they an 80's boat?

That Argo but it may be now not, he said with a 90hp 70mph?

what you think?....


*still want a v8 ski boat!*

no idea about the tint (you would need to speak to ian atlee)
but the argo was great in the rough or flat
just couldn't get the hang of turning it quickly on the shorter OCR courses
(not the boats fault i just didn't have the skill )
