Hello iboats,

I have had this boat since March 2009 and this is where it is today.

4 Blade 19p Aluminum Prop - Stock was 3 Blade 21p
Bennett M120 Sport Tabs - This boat would porpus on a fish splash
MotorGuide W75 Trolling Motor - 24v love it!

We love this boat, family of 6, we fish and ski/wake/tube so this boat has been perfect for us.

Would you mind telling me? showing me where you put your 2 batteries for your trolling motor? I also am planning on installing a trolling motor on my 195 deck boat. thanks for your help cool:

I have a 2008 Tahoe 216 and also have a W75 sitting in the garage. Problem is, they are not attached. I have tried calling Bass Pro to get tips and even set up an appointment to get the trolling motor installed and can not get any returned calls. Can you post a close up of the mounting of your trolling motor. The ones at the store seem to have a plastic plate under the aluminum one that came with the motor (on the ski models). Just looking for a few tips on mounting.

Looks great! What performance differences have you experienced with the 4 blade prop vice the 3 blade?
