| Since I see this string came back, I thought I'd post a quick update and let everyone know that I went with the Alumacraft 165 Competitor with the Yamaha F70 tiller.
I absolutely love the package! The boat is very well made, the F70 is easy to handle, it hops up on plane very quickly and tops out at 31-32 MPH with the 13 pitch 3 blade aluminum I'm running right now. It also trolls down to around 2.2 MPH going forward. The engine also just sips fuel.
I've had the boat out a handful of times now and I think it's just a great overall package. Easy to handle, lots of interior space, solid feel and handles water well. I did get a little wet this past weekend but that's because the wind was blowing some splash back into my face when I was running into the waves.
If anyone is in the market for a 16-17 foot tiller, I'd definitely recommend giving the Competitor a look. | |
