    I sold my 1993 Alumacraft T-14 first 3 pics….

    And bought a 2010 Lowe A1457. Put a Nissan 9.8 4 stroke one it.

    An Endura 30 will push it just fine. Put the fuel cell and battery in the middle of the boat. Two clamp on swivel seats. Glued down some rubber for better grip and reduce the noise.

    I still plan on putting Nav lights and two interior lights. Couple of anchor pullies and such and she will be ready to go for the next 15-20 years!

    It looks good Ken, this should be a nice upgrade for you. Now all you need to do is find some time to get it wet and put some fish in it.

    Congrats

    Nice looking set-up.

    Keep us posted on the motor. Not a lot of reports on Nissan, although what you hear is good, so I’d like to hear how it performs for you.

    Enjoy the new boat!!

    I am hopping it performs as well as a Merc or Yamaha. It was several hundred less than the other two.

    Nice! But the important thing is, will you have the same fish finder cover in the new boat that you had in the old?
