My digital scale said 10.0 but I dont think it is anywhere near that.

Cal.

The boat is a 2002 Triton 186 Mag with 115 Merc. I removed the 56lb Motor Guide just as fast as I could and put a 80Lb Minn Kota Maxxum Pro with lift assist and built in Unioversal sonar w/temp.

I installed a recessed Lowrance X87 in the bow and the Consol.

I traded in a fiberglass 20 ft Pro Craft for it. After my first trip with this boat I new I would never own a fiber glass boar again.

Half the weight, half the horse power, 1/3 the fuel consumption, and still run 55 to 60 PMH.

D.R.,

I THOUGHT that was an aluminum boat, but then the sides were white so it threw me off... very cool... i love aluminum rigs!
