    Yeah i definately wouldnt be puttin a casting deck in but id go for a solid flat floor which should improve the stability as far as walkin around in it and that if it was me and only stickin to the calmer rivers id be takin the middle seat out i know people think its a big no no and alot of people will poo poo it structual integrity and so on but in calm water its perfectly safe as ive done it before and it was awesome freed up alot of room and was still super tough

    and yeah rod holders fishfinder thats about all you could do with it but yeah its got good potential for a river boat for sure

    Stainless v Alloy Props

    in Boating

    I got a solas stainless steel prop

    i kept in getting bad prop torque like my boat would always tilt to one side pretty badly

    no matter how i adjusted the tilt or whether or not i had hydrofoils on

    but as soon as i changed it the boat was perfect

    im not sure the old alloy prop was hit by something but looked brand new

    and i think i got a couple of more knots out of the motor to

    seems to use the same amount of fuel

    but looks very nice

    not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing

    Theres alot of theives around lookin for an easy steel

    so i put a stainless lock nut on it

    I got exact same motor

    The only time mines ever done that is when the little rubber o ring on the quick connect fitting

    wore a little n was letting a little bit of air in which was enough

    i also had it happen to another merc motor was a 2005 25hp

    also check all the way up the line

    This topic should be called...

    The never ending story.

    Ahhhhahhhhahhhh......

    As previously stated you will hear both sides of the argument which are valid, but my observations of the responses tell me it's better to run it dry.... So I came up with my own solution which I'll post as a topic.

    Definately never ending story haha
