Thanks for the replies regarding the princecraft boat. I decided to buy it. I got a great deal as it was a 07 non-current boat. I personally noticed it lacked storage compared to the lund/alumacraft boats but that was a small comprimise for the $$$ savings on the boat package.

Princecraft Pro 165 SC
Princecraft bunk trailer
Mercury 60 hp efi with tilt/trim
Lowrance 522ci on dash w/north region navionics chip
Ram mount for lowrance
Vexilar Fl-20 on bow
Minn Kota 55 lb powerdrive v2 with universal sonar and auto pilot
Quick release plate for the trolling motor
Two exide batteries (one starting and one for trolling motor)

Two bank onboard charger to come along with rod holders. Anything else I'm forgetting? Also, any advice on the correct hole placement for this motor and best performing prop?

I"M PUMPED!!!! WE NEED THE ICE TO GO OUT!!!

sounds great. Now you can get all those extras. be sure to get all the things you need to pass the coast guard auxillairy inspection and maybe even a boaters safety course if did not already do that. Yep a new boat that is great. practice backing it up on a day when the ramp is deserted.:cheers:

Congrats!!! That sounds like an awesome boat. I'm waiting to get a new boat in the water too. I missed a chance to get it out today - my 11 y/o had baseball tryouts (another sign of spring).
