Evinrude E tech motors

[rockyg]

We have an older Sea Pro 1900 Bay Boat. She is a fine craft for our area.

Pros:
VERY dry boat, rides very well.
Runs 39 mph loaded with a F-115. Very fuel efficient.
Floats pretty shallow, roughly 12"
Catches fish.....at least mine does.

Cons:
Wiring, guages, mechanical systems are poor quality
Dry storage not dry
Access for maintenance/upgrades is poor to non-existant

We love our little red Sea Pro. The one you are looking at will be a rocket with that 150. If the hull and motor are sound you will have many enjoyable days using that boat.

That f150 is a great motor. Just make sure it has the updated harmonic balancer on it. If not it can cause catastrophic failure.

I was also impressed with the Key West Bay Reef 186/196 too. More deadrise at 19. Fit and finish looked a little better. The ones in my budget all had 115s and at times I will have 4-5 people on the boat and be pulling a tube so feel like the 150 is a better choice.

Boat is listed between nada low retail and average retail, but I've been told electronics panel, lights, bilge, livewell, trim tabs etc will all work correctly when its finished.

At 45, I'd rather be fishing than fixing, so the extra cost to get a turn key boat will be fine.
