Were i looking this would be the boat for me. The AE still has the fuel in the rear, which equates to more performance, old school ! I love the 08 im running now, and if i were to order a new boat today i would stay with the Cougar AE, with good electronics and poles. It is all the boat i need and then some. Very nice colors on this one as well, plus around 4k electronics upgrade, 36 volt tm, wheels, l.e.d.s, and 250 ! Awesome !
