What’s the top speed with that merc
bentrodsblog
@justin_menendez 20.6 solo is the best I’ve gotten so far. 14-17 with a passenger/gear/full cooler. I weigh 275 though

@bentrodsblog how do you like that center box, worth it over a cooler in its place ?
bentrodsblog
@scott__ryan in my case yes. I split the center box so 1/3 of it is a livewell and the rest is dry storage. That amount of dry storage is still more than I could store in the 45 at yeti, as I used that for a centerbox on my previous NMZ. Now I get the dry storage and still bring the cooler, as I use it as an actual cooler now plus a poling/casting platform.

@bentrodsblog thanks for the response, I’m thinking about going with the center box, one last question how is it with two people and walking on the side of the box, tippy at all?
bentrodsblog
@scott__ryan yes, to an extent it is tippy but it’s nothing that isn’t manageable. I frequently switch from running the outboard in the back to fishing up front while I’ve got a passenger and it just takes some communication to make the move.

@bentrodsblog thanks again I appreciate the advise. Tight lines !

Sick boat! How are you liking it compared to the nmz? Is the stability better?
bentrodsblog
@brucetr it’s way more stable, mostly because of the widened transom. It’s nearly double the transom width as my NMZ was. I love the boat, it was the perfect stepping stone for me from my NMZ. I would love to have an LT25 but just can’t justify the cost at the moment, so this paired well with the 9.9 I already had from my NMZ. Perfect boat for the creek and backcountry exploring/fishing that I like to do, with enough stability to feel comfortable crossing bays and stuff when the weather is fair ??

been lurking comments I have a 154 would love to move up to lt10 I already have merc15. does this boat plane out any better than the 154s?
bentrodsblog
@hoodrichdc91 planes about the same for me, where this boat really shines in comparison is carving turns and stuff. You don’t have to slow down as much and you don’t feel like you’re hanging over the edge on a tight turn. Much more stability and useable deck space with the widened transom. I love mine!

@bentrodsblog I want one lol

@hoodrichdc91 get one! They’re awesome!
