I just finished my third season in my 175 single console navigator, 115 yamaha. I love it as well.
The only things I have trouble with, is the screw fastners in the deck loosen constantly after pounding waves or a long trailering trips. I just finished replacing +/- 50 screws with s/s bolts.
Also, be careful pulling rods in and out of holders, the folks at the factory installed some screws fastening your livewell valve switch that stick into the comartment and act as perfect ilet benders/line cutters! I also had to install my own system to seccure rods after they are in the comp.
I think that my 2005, which is rated for a 115, may have been designed for the lighter 2 stroke 115s of yesteryear, and not my heavy 115 4 stroke.....ass sits a bit low in water. Maybe they have fixed that because I believe they are now rated for a bit higher H.P.
I WOULD BUY ANOTHER.
