my first boat was a 19' omega mini day cruiser with a 455 olds, boat was very solid, i beat the shit out of that boat and never had any problems with it other than the olds,  my best freind bought it from me and he continued to beat the dog snot out of the boat, had a good ride, good feel in the water.

Most of the Omega boats I know of are 21-23' day cruisers and seem to be good quality. 

What you have there looks nice even though the steering is on the wrong side  ;D

I won't say anything about the tumor hanging off the back  :screwy:

Looks like a nice boat to me, Is it me or does that old trailer tongue jack pose as a potential pinch hazard?! I would cut that fugger off flush  :thumbup:

Do you have a plate jack on the motor, or is it well mounted?

that same day my brother in law cut it off for me........the front tip looks like it has a little wear and tear from it.

Add some fender boards to that trailer or everytime you go thru water, etc your going to get crap on the side of the boat.

As ugly as they are I like the easy loaders. Much easy if you happen to be by yourself when loading/unloading.

There's quite a few Omega owners on the boards, and I've never heard them complain about them, so they must be pretty good from that standpoint. (In fact, I'm working on obtaining a 21 footer, I beleive, at the moment).

My first jet was a 1975 Omega 18'/455 Olds/Jacuzzi WJ that I purchased new. I used it hard it for 4 seasons, and never had a problem. It is still my wife's favorite boat.

I have a 1978 Omega Daycruiser. I have only taken it out 3 times but it seems solid as can be. This Sunday will be my fourth trip. I'm also going to try and get some MPH numbers!
