And when you catch the crappie...put a hook through it and let a striper eat that! Ha ha. Once you get a striper on the end of your line everything else is just dead weight. I'd hire a guide early...

I don't run more than 20 feet behind the ball. It makes a mess when you have a bunch of lines out and a lure running funny.

If its an Optimax the 115 is pretty mean. If its a 4 stroke that heavy boat will have trouble. Either way, a 150 is the right motor for that big boat.

The Optimax will be way more powerful. You'll notice it planing a loaded boat. It will troll pretty fast and will be louder. They are actually pretty good on fuel.

I'd say you need to try replacing the support post first and see if the window stops popping out. I could see how it would flex a lot without the support post. See if they will sell you a new frame...

I rode in one with an optimax 115 and I didn't think it was underpowered at all. A 4 stroke might be but I doubt it.

You got a great boat either way. That 1750 has some really nice features.
