i got the new fishin boat set up and ready to go. It is an all welded 16 ft. alumacraft. the boat is built like a tank. I was deciding between a mercury 25 H.P. 4 stroke or an evinrude e-tech 25 h.p. after much consideration I bought a 2007 40 H.P yamaha 4 stroke.( go figure). this motor came available for less money than the other two so I bolted it on.My first 4 stroke, i'm very anxious to run it. with gas prices still climbing I think I will use this little guy a lot.

Very nice boat. I've been wanting to get one like it for a few years now and use it as a flats boat.
