Location: Hayward, WI | Lots of guys run that boat and seem to like it. Is he looking at the 1750? I think they used to have the gas tanks built into the back of the boat (like under the rear deck) rather than in the floor like the Alumacraft. With a bigger 4 stroke and gas it can get a little heavy back there from what I hear. I would think it might also reduce some of the storage.
This isn't something BAD, just something to compare with. They might have gone to in floor gas tanks now too, I'm not sure. Lots of guys are plenty happy with their FishHawks though, so I don't see it being a problem.
For the boats you are talking about, you might want to try the boats and motors forum over on Walleyecentral.com. That has a VERY active boats forum, and it seems like you can always find a half dozen or more guys that have run just about any rig you want to ask about.
