Thx, Yup fits exactly all I have left is 1.5" in my 19ft with swing tounge in and motor turned.
So far with 3 ppl on board @ 3700rpms and 1/2 tank of fuel she went to 35mph! boat only weighs 690#s I think with 2 ppl less fuel and 5500rpms she might go 45-50mph, but will do 2hrs of break in first;)

Very, very nice ride.

You will enjoy many, many years pulling in fish hand over fist.

Congrats

Thx Guys, had it on Lake O yesterday in 3-4ft chop not ideal but handled well but will only go on the big lakes on calm days. Took it on Belwood for 2hrs today and the time to get to my spot 11kms down in windy & choppy water was cut in half.

I can't get rid of the grin:) I think I'm slowly converting from a car guy to a boat guy.....

Excellent multi-species outfit-I'll wave from shore and please watch out when I'm in the water with my belly boat!!

That is one beautiful boat - I guess that's a 2 cycle 75 on it - the 4 cycle get really big - the only thing of having a new boat like that is trying not to get it scratched - good luck with it - I have a 20 year old aluminm Bass Tracker and the plywood under the rug is getting rotten near the back - it's kinda beat up - I think it's getting time for me to think about a new boat - JoePa

Thanks guys, Here is the Etec in action spinning @ 4700rpms, 3ppl, full gear 3/4 tank(18 gallons),37mph. I've been testing props trying to find the right height and prop size for the most effecient setup.

Man I love the Etec motor they are what they say they are, seems that Mercury/Yamaha have a monopoly in southern ontario.

With the nicer weather Belwood is way too busy now. Might try it in Sept hopefully the water doesn't get too low by then.

I just moved into highland pines for the summer, got a boat and fished all day Friday and all morning Sunday and had a blast on belwood lake. I'm easy to please but we pulled in a couple small pikes, some big perch, a small walleye and a boatload of catfish. The algae floating around the boat is discusting but we still loved the fishing. If anybody has belwood tips or good spots pls let me know......we had the most luck straight across from highland pines beach out by the little islands.
