I bought my first boat yesterday. It is a 1987 Jasn 1570. It came with a blown up motor but i have a 140 Johnson that i am hanging on the back. Can anyone tell me anything about how these boats handle?

I have read a little on other sites but was just wondering if you guys had any input.

Nope, can't tell you anything about that boat but congrats and welcome to the best site out there.

Buzzbait,

Congrats on your boat.

Once you have it in the water you can tell a lot about it.

I have no idea about the craft but welcome to the forum and let us know how you improve it and how it performs.

Congratulations

Good Luck on finding any info on this boat. I have been looking for almost a year with no luck. I bought one ( 1986 1570 ) off of Jason from this forum for 1700 and I am very happy with it. It needed a new floor which I put in this winter and new carpeting. The boat is only rated for a 115 max and I wouldnt recomend putting anything bigger on it as it does sit very low in the back even with a 110 ( I do have a 24v system on it though. It handles very very well but in big water swells you will get water over the front and back so if you see some big wakes coming jump down in to the middle of the boat  ;D. Here are some pics.

Ballistix that is wierd mine is almost identical to that. It is an 87 model but the color scheme is exactly like that. I bought it with a 140 johnson on it. the weigth is still the same. i relly like the deck extension, did you do that yourself? 8-)

YEs I did the extension and the step between the seats. The extension was cheap and easy and will make a HUGE differenc, it definately needed it.

Do you have any pics of it yet ?

let me know if you find any info on the boat.

Not yet i will try to get some posted soon.
