Re: [omc-boats] Model Clarification

The Rogue was sold along with the OMC tandem trailer. Yes the guys in
engineering built themselves a number of "one of a kind" boats some with
V-8's, some set up with 235 HP outboards with 150 engine covers. Ours had
three fuel tanks carried 70 gallons, also built in head.
