So far, so good. I couldn't be happier with the boat and motor. I have upgraded it to an extent by constructing a casting deck/storage compartment between the small bow seat and the first bench seat, installing 2 swivel based folding back seats, 2 down east rod holders, cleats, navigation lights, and converting my Marcum lx-3 flasher from a hardwater tool to a soft water tool. I have been busy figuring out the fishing. Life is good.
