I was just looking at Lowe's yesterday while ordering parts for my motor. They looked pretty good, and they were priced pretty good. Shoot us a mid season review after you have some hours on her.

Looks great, but does it really weigh as much as the promo suggests ? You must pull it with a 350 dually.<br /><br />erie_guy

Re: Just Bought My Boat... How'd I Do?

The Hull weight is ~1,150 lbs, and the 115 4-stroke weight is about ~386 lbs, so total boat/motor only weighs about ~1,536 lbs, but by the time you add batteries, gear, etc its probably around ~2,000 lbs...<br /><br />-TheChad
