Re: Under-powered?
LubeDude,<br />That is precisely why I stay away from boats with PTT. I'm quite afraid I might find out what I've been missing & might want it real bad. That might be bad for my bank accout! (if I even had enough to do anything about it, which I don't!) In this case anyway, ignorance is bliss. Well, maybe not bliss but better than really knowing experientially just how much nicer it might be. I tell myself that "living simply" is a virtue. Works for now.<br /><br />Actually, Canuck, I do get by with my 55 not having PTT. It is possible. With a 40 or less it would only be easier. But if you can swing it it might be mighty nice to have it. If you ever have back problems you'll be particularly glad. It is so much easier to beach with the PTT, though it is one more thing to eventually maintain. I'd go with it if possible, particularly with a 40.<br /><br />My brother has a similar boat with a 40. Does quite well. Only way I'd consider less horsepower is if I never took anyone else out and had a successful demo ride with that lesser motor. Have you been able to get a ride in one?
