buying a new boat

[junkman41]

I am buying a new Alumacraft Escape 165 CS I am having a Mercury 20 HP four stroke motor put on, so I can fish restricted HP lakes I was wondering how the people who have this boat like it, pros and cons. I had a pontoon and sold it and buying this boat,

Know nothing about it. Looked at pix and it should make a fine fishing boat, as long as you stay on restricted HP lakes. Assuming these lakes are small, I guess the motor will work. Being that it's rated for 50hp, that 20/4 is pretty small...... Enjoy your new boat!

the lakes I will be going are smaller lakes, and they have a 20 hp max, I was going to have the 50 hp installed, but after a lot of thought, I would of had to put a smaller kicker motor on the boat, so I could fish those lakes, and I didn't want to have to do that. so with all said I think I will be satisfied
