You made an excellent choice in both boat and motor Bot. Congratulations! Be sure to post some photos when it arrives.

I fish out of a boat exactly like that a couple times a year. Nice ride for sure.

I have a Competitor 175 with a 115hp. I've fished out of the Lund Impact 1875 and looked at the Lunds when I was in the market. The boats are very similar but it came down to a few with with the Alumacraft I liked better.
1.) the location of the gas on the alumacraft is in the back corner vs the Lund was in the middle of the boat side
2.) the drainage area near the motor is much smaller on the Alumacraft making a bigger casting deck (more space and my dad has some balance problems)
3.)The side platforms on the Alumacraft are wider. The Alumacraft's are about 14" where the Lund is only about 10". The wider ones are easy to fish 3 people out of.

This will be my 3rd summer with the Competitor. I do love it and it fishes really well. It is wide enough where it handles bigger waves and doesn't rock too much. I have vinyl floors on the bottom and they do get a bit slippery when wet, but they do clean up much easier than the carpet.

In the end, I don't think you can go wrong with either boat...just personal preference on a few details.

Keith just ordered a new 1775 Impact dual sport with a 115 Mercury 4 stroke, rear deck, and a few other options. Can’t wait to get her rigged up.

I just traded Alumacraft 165 tiller for a pro guide 1675 Tiller and I run Etec. I have a lot of information if you want to PM me. By the way I think you made a very wise choice on both boat and motor. As far as trolling motor shaft length it could not be too long. I use 60 inch on 16' tillers. I use 80 pound terrova. I would say 80 pound would be bare minimum and possibly not enough on your rig. I have 3 27 series Optima blue tops have used these in my last three boats.
