Sorenson Jackel J/AX/ASR region 10 high point boat 57R. This is the boat with the eagle on the side. It has served me very well and has performed well at two nationals. This last year it had the 6th fastest heat time of all boats run. Complete with weights, fuel tank and transom parts for OMC, Mercury, Side-winder. Reason for selling. This old man is slowing down and the hydro is a smoother ride for me.
