Thanks everyone for the good info and advice! I would be willing to travel to get a boat, but if a problem crops up under warranty, there would be no dealer reasonably close to take care of it. But I may have to go this route. There is a dealer that carries lowe boats not far from me that has several set up with jets for the river. I was checking them out and lowe has a .125 option on their hulls. I haven't heard anything bad about the lowe so I might look into them also. I found a couple of war eagles in Tennessee that were priced pretty good and setup close to what I was looking for, but it's a 10+ hour trip one way. I also was looking at the Lund predator, pretty nice setup, but it's geared more toward fishing with a little bigger casting deck that takes up interior space and it's a lot heavier. One of the main lakes I like to fish has a 20 hp limit so I need to keep boat weight down and probably a 1754 or so size should work ok.
