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.
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.
