| I'm looking at purchasing a Rebel XL side console. I would like a larger boat, however I've decided to try to stick to a smaller budget so I can afford to use the boat more. Most of the time I'll be fishing calmer lakes and reserviors, but I want to be safe and secure for trips on Lake Erie, LOTW, etc. I'm looking right now at a 60hp Merc 4 stroke. It's max rated for a 75hp, however its almost 150 more pounds going from the 60 to the 75 and I"m not sure if it's worth the extra weight. What do you guys think? I had also checked with a couple Alumacraft dealers on some of their boats but seems like it's gonna be heavier, I'm assuming due to the twin plated hull which would translate to reduced fuel mileagle, more to tow, and slower speeds. So what do you guys think of the boat and engine delima? | |
