Yep, the motorhome is pretty well rotten though. I don't know why my mom won't get rid of it, but she's dead set she's gonna fix it up one day. It's been killing me not being out on the water, and I've come to terms with the economy not recovering down here anytime soon. So I decided it was time to at least get out on the lakes, rivers, and flats. Plus this boat will run for a solid day on what my old 225 burned in an hour. I seen a couple of bass boats here lately for CHEAP money, but then I would still be filling a tank to feed a big engine. I decided spenidng the money for a boat a small engine could push, would pay off in short order in fuel savings.

Man that is gonna be a sweet set up Ferm. 54" wide should be a nice stable shallow drafting platform. Love it man. Good for you on snagging that up and getting back on the water!

Yep, I was blown away at how wide it is for a 16 footer. Should be plenty wide to go most anywhere I want to go, and get up into some of the springs around here with my son this summer.

Looks like you got a sweet deal Ferm. Congrats. I completely agree with you about engines and fuel burns. Sadly, it's a fact of life that under the present administration, we're not going to see any reduction in gas prices. I have a 12 foot Sears tri-hull Gamefisher rowboat with a 9.9 Honda 4 stroke on it for exactly that reason. I LOVE ocean fishing, but like you said, what I burn in a day with the little guy is what I burn in an hour (or less) with the V. Good luck with your new toy.
