All I've done to the deck was recessed the trolling motor tray and yes mine is only rated for a 135 also, running 67 mph with the 175 EFI, Well thats about as fast as I want to run it, it has more :nanner:Quote:

this boat. Bass fish, crappie & bluegill, catfish, whites in the shallow water river during spring where I have to pull it over
the rapids, run down riggers in power plant lakes for redfish. She's simple. She's tough. She is low maintenance. That's about it !

a Lowrance Fishmark 480. Whew. Glad things have changed in that area. :smile:

I like it! Looks like it's built like a tank.
It is ! 0.100 gauge aluminum throughout. All welded. Double wall all metal transom. Reinforced corners on bottom rear of hull.
This boat was built to run rivers and not have to worry about riding over a stump top now and then.

Lot's of memories were made in that boat and I hope that you and your kids create a lot of memories with her.

Thanks krr. It was reports like yours that made me look at DuraCraft. I've been blessed will a lot of good times in this boat. It's really unfortunate that the
same company that built my boat was dissolved and reformed. This boat was from a different era and concept. I'm so thankful I have it.
Here's a couple of good fish my sister caught this past winter.

Weren't they originally made in Monticello, AR? Anyway tell you sis those are great looking fish! Looks like you both had a great time and looking at the forceps on her ring it looks like she fishes quite a bit.
