Looking pretty hard at getting a new gt 1750 with the stock 35. I usually hunt 3 most of the time with the occasional 4th. Problem is a lot of the public land in the area has a 10hp limit. I want the 35 because I plan on using the boat year round and not everywhere has the limit. Just some of the sweet spots for ducks are in wildlife management areas getting to that point where the 1.5 mile walk in would be a lot easier with the boat. Typically flooded timber and stumped lakes, ocassionally a river run.

Start hunting by yourself and get the 10hp. Make your friends get a rig. You can never have to many boats. The problem is not one rig will do it all. You got to pick your poison.
