| It may have been a 175, I know I maxed out the HP (for sure 125 Merc......not a fan of that motor), boat was ok. Sold the FH to open a restaurant if you must know.  I have never fished out of a Mag.
My boat history starting at age 20ish.
1) many John's....15hp, fishing, duck hunting.
2) 1st new boat, 95 Basstracker TX17 with a (again, maxed out) 75HP Merc. Was basicly a John bota with a 75 Merc. Just starting to fish muskies up north (WI). Traded for Princecraft, wanted tiller and wider.
3) 2nd new boat, 96 Princecraft 167BT/40hp Merc tiller. LOVED the boat (compared to TX). 80" wide (was wide back then), just had lots of fun fishing in that boat (but still looking hard at Esox's driving/fishing by). Kept boat for 3 years or so, sold to buddy.
4) 3rd new boat, 04/05? Crestliner 1750 Fishhawk w/125HP Merc (max hp again). Hated motor.....had that transition from 2 to 3 cylinders at around 3000rpm.....yuck!! Boat was fine. Did not like going down the river sideways when buy myself cause you sit on the councel side......picky that way I guess.
5) Bought a used early 90's Glastron with 4.3 Merc. Wife loved how quite......miss having fishing boat, sold.
Have been boatless since about 2005 (only had Crestliner for 1 summer). Opened restraunt and built a 30x50 shop to house boat that have previously "been in the way" of everything!! I've got the room, I'm gettin' a new boat!!
