| Anybody pulling the trigger on one? If I could afford a brand new boat, I think that may be the one I would get! |

Location: Detroit River | If my wife would let me buy one I'd be all over it. I think she'll let me buy a new boat when the Lions win the Super Bowl so looks like I'm SOL.

| One of the guys from fat a.z Muskie podcasts bought one with the verado tiller. If you listen to the podcasts they talk about it quite a bit. Sounds like a amazing boat!!!! I like my used alumacraft it's paid for and owes me nothing but if I was in the market that would be the boat!!! |

| This will definitely be my next boat. Watch the pro staff video, has everything I look for. I love the walk around deck. In my opinion on most big tiller the console setup ruins the back casting platform. This things has everything I need to run my boat the way I like it. I almost wish the console was on the other side mid ship. I have been running my tuffy that way since I rebuilt it. This way when you are running you dont have to keep turning your head 90 degrees to see the GPS. Now I just need somebody to buy one and use it for a couple years so I can afford it. Although, I think the price was pretty decent compared to the lunds.
Here is the video.

| I think the set up looks pretty great as well. I love how open the boat is. And I really like how you can lock away your graphs if you need the extra space. I would only need the bow mounted graph about 75% of the time, and the fact that you can lock those others away so they are not in the way is great! How fast would a 115 like in the video push a boat that big? Would that have a poor hole shot? I think I would want at least a 150 on a boat that big. Maybe I am wrong. I suppose if it works for Wiebe...it would probably do everything ya needed it to. |

Location: Lebanon,Mo | Nice setup for sure. I wouldnt want the vinyl option on the decks,you'll find yourself on your back with dew,rain,snow,etc while casting. Guessing the 115 will push it upper 30,mid 40's. |

| I have a 175 navigator cs 115 and this boat has it by about 1000 lbs. I would get the 200 merc with hydro steering. It is the same weight as the 150 175, but would offer a better cruise speed. those three weigh 100 lbs more than the 115. For comparison my navigator goes 42 or 40 fully loaded. Also after using hydrolic steering on my tiller tuffy 90 hp. I could ever go back to manual tiller. |

Location: Lebanon,Mo | My Bay 20 with the Yam F115 would do about 45-46 with two people and my gear. Of course I added a jackplate and the bay is only about 1200lbs (hull only). The new F115 is state of the art,more rpm's,etc. Yamaha shows base hp on these to be around 125 at the prop. I would think if this boat is pitched right,it would do very well with this motor.
