The 1880 also has the.125 hull which is great imo, still way under powered though.

I use mine twice a week year round locally, plus weekend tournaments. Then throw in a few multi day trips and my 1880 gets used alot. Its far from under powered. Would a 150 be faster? Sure but when it comes catching fish it’s always been the Indian and not the arrow.Originally Posted by DTI0384
Having said that with the price increases over the last few years. I would be looking at a Phoenix 818 for about the same money with more horse power.
2024 Phoenix 818, Mercury 175 (3B414035) Trick Steps, 3 Garmin 106 SV,s, LVS 34. BoatEFX dual bow mount. Ionic 12V 125AH, 2 12V 100 ah LiTime’s with Blue tooth for the TM. Minn Kota 345 PCL charger, Minn Kota Quest TM.
The 2024 with thicker aluminum along with the extra mass/width of the front end, is indeed underpowered, should be 1880=150hp
1980=200
2080=250
When they were making the Evinrude 135 and you could get it on the 1880, now that was a hot combo especially if it had the wider deck the V2 has now.
For small waters it's fine, for large lakes you just have to plan accordingly as far as distance.
Aside from the lower HP this revised wider design for the AVX lineup is pretty awesome.
Good move. That's why I went with a Caymas CX18ss with a 150hp Mercury Pro XS $45k OTD with Garmin electronics and a Force.
Yeap! Caymas CX 18 would also make that list.
