Location: Madison, WI | Ive got a bud looking to buy a new boat this spring. He is looking at an Alumacraft Dominator 175cs. A little bigger than his boat now, he is looking to upgrade size and go to a console. Thing is, all the dealers are telling him that a 115 is plenty for that boat even though I beleive it is rated for a 150. Im trying to get him to go to at least a 135 but I guess the cost is pretty steep. Any ideas of persuasion are greatly appreciated. Is it not worth the additional money or should he look for something gently used with more HP?
My concern is it bogging down and not getting out of the water without running the motor 100% all the time. I only have a 60 HP so my knowledge of bigger boats is limited.
Thanks |
