Location: Elk River, Minnesota | I happen to own the 165 Navigator with a 90 yamaha on it and LOVE IT!! Plenty of room for big bait boxes, two rod lockers, decent sized livewell and very stable platforms. you can fish 3 out of the boat without issue. The front deck is maybe just a touch high for doing good solid figure-8's with a shorter rod, but it is a perfect height for jerkbaits. The rear deck has plenty of foot space for the area, and there is plenty of room to mount electronics both in the back and at the bow.
Rigging is quite easy. Hiding wires is fairly easy to do as well, since the wiring is run along the rod lockers.
40mph boat without issue and handles the big stuff well.
