Sweet boat!  How does it do with the jack plate, if you don't mind, especially since HBC says it's not needed?  I'm looking at getting one with a 150.

I prefer the boat with no jack plate.  As long as it's propped right, it's has plenty of hull shot.  I've rigged a couple with 150's and a jack plate.  Pushing the weight of the 150 even further back from the transom can cause more squat and you have to use a lot more tab to keep the bow down, just tough to make run correctly with that setup.  I really push people towards the 115, still upper 40's, overall better setup.

Don't send it yet, You forgot the push pole holders!:o

I figured someone would catch that.  Guy fishes a very specific way and has to cover some ground to get there, wanted a really good riding skiff that floats shallow, light weight, and is stable.  Trolling motor only, but needed this boat to get the job done.

Thank you for the response!
