Ya I’m no expert lol
Thought I read somewhere that the newer hull on the pro was wood free 2005 and up
But apparently anyone can put anything on the interwebber, who knew
On a more interested topic I’m wondering about the fuel consumption and distance one would travel on a two stroke 115 merc with 200 lt tank
Would it safely get a person fifty miles out
I know my 120. 2 stroke is thirsty on a trip
From Vernon to Kelowna on okanogan lk a stop for fuel to get me home is mandatory and yes smaller tank but but it uses the better part of 100 lt and it’s only 45 miles give or take and it’s on smooth water
Maybe a repower would be in the best interest of my plans after a year or two or an upgrade to a bigger boat but the idea grows on me that a smaller boat is going to be better as 98 % of the time I’ll be solo and I’m not too worried about bad weather or events because I believe in planning ahead and having ones ducks in a row and in the worst case scenario put your plan into action
And smaller doesn’t mean unsafe as it’s still a blue water boat all things being equal and it’s maintained
Did read about a few trophy’s having problems with the bait tank filling the boat so that would be an area to look at
And I’ve read they have bronze through hulls and stainless rigging with backing plates
So I’m probably overthinking things as usual
But that’s what I do lol
Main thing is the price range is attractive and it checks a bunch of box’s in the yes column
