Subject: RE: Looking for input from Rebel XL owners and motor size question

This is right now the primary boat I'm looking at. I've looked at the Alumacrafts and after doing some pricing I can get the Lund for about $1000 cheaper than the Classic 165CS. I plan on sticking with the 60hp though if this is indeed the boat I choose due to better weight distribution. I saw a post somewhere with someone who had a 75hp and apparently had issues under certain circumstances with water trying to come over the back with how low it sat. I probably would go with the 80lb though and just run heavier gauge wire. Troll alot longer with more power. I can't tell ya much on shallow performance. I'm hoping it would do well enough since I will be using it on Melton Hill.
