The hull below the floor line is filled with foam and gives a very solid quiet ride. We summer in MN on a 32,000 acre lake and it handles the big water nicely! IT’s truly a dry ride. The 150 pro xs is ok with the 4 blade SS merc prop. Decent hole shot, 45-47 top end, and sips fuel. If I had ordered the boat, the two things I would have added/changed is a tilt steering wheel and the 175pro xs. The MinnKota 24v Terrova handles the boat well. I’m adding a designated lithium battery for Garmin LS and ultra’s. Currently running Garmins, 2-10” & 1-12” screens! The infloor rear battery compartment is a solid plus! It keeps the weight out of the bow! We really like the quick drying sea deck foam on all the horizontal surfaces! Randy, Keith, and crew have designed a very nice aluminum multi species boat!
Hope this helps you out!
