true story. i take it everywhere. Was even thinking about Wordens yesterday but decided no. Only draws 18" though...

that boat has fished all rhody waters, from pawtucket to the sw ledge...

I originally had a 150 ficht evinrude, which served me well despite the reputation, now I have a 115 yamaha 4stroke, which is still plenty of power.

GPS #^&#^&#^&#^& the bed yesterday after probably 15 yrs of taking a beating in the open. (had on my previous boat as well)

I've never seen an NC 19 with a ttop. If you can at all convince your wife not to have one, they severely restrict fishing in my experience. especially on a boat 23' and less.

i bent my wookie

Yami 115 4stroke is great. I have over 1200 hours on it and its running, according to dealers electronic diagnostics, right on factory specs. I do change the water pump, impeller, thermostat and NGK Iridium plugs every year. I also run Fuel Ox whenever I add gas. I run fresh water thru the engine after every trip. Change oil, fuel filter, oil filter and lower unit grease every 100 hrs. Also change all the zincs, internal and external, every year.
My dealers says that if I keep up this maint schedule, I should get 2500 hours before a rebuild.

No boat, back in the suds.

It's interesting in that my Yami dealer never told me either about the internal zinc. I got tipped off to them from a mobile marine mechanic that did some work for me during the winter.
