Bob, a friend of mine has the 190, I've been out fishing in it a number of times. He doesn't have a trolling motor though, so I can't help you out with that.

It is a nice inshore fishing boat, we take it out from Narragansett down to Charlestown with no problem, handles some chop well and we're often in the surf line. He was looking at several boats and picked this one for function and cost. The fit and finish isnt as good as you'd see on a more expensive one, but it is a solid, simple fishin boat and he's been happy with it. Trailers well too, as the 190 is pretty light.

I think the only problems or complaints he's had is the bow hatch hinge broke, and the gas fill is on the rear seat so any spillage pools up in the corner.
