Nice, congrats!

Again, thanks for the info and advice guys.
One reason (a big one) is I got a $2600 discount for getting the 25ELPT motor due to some national advertised pricing deal. I actually was shocked when this discount was mentioned so I called a saleswoman at Lund HQ and had her verify it. After this discount the Rebel 1600 was less expensive than a Rebel with a 9.9 Prokicker which I was considering (here in Ohio we have some 10HP and under only lakes) or even the Fury 1400.

I’m going to be in Wyoming, MN in October. If any of you are in that area perhaps I could buy dinner and say thanks for the tips.

Just pick-up a 2 gallon gas can to carry on the days you might be fishing a long time.

I’m glad someone mentioned this. Since it’s been a very long time for me without having a built in tank so I’m concerned about how to carry/store fuel. (I fish in Ohio though and won’t be out on huge lakes nor will I be far away from fuel. On camping trips I’ll have extra fuel with me.) With that said though, I like the idea of having an extra gallon or two on hand.
In the attached pic, I’ve highlighted with arrows of where I could store extra fuel. I could purchase an extra boat tank and store it next to the main tank but I’m wondering if just storing and carrying 2 gallons or a gallon and half plastic tank in my regular storage is okay. To me this is prob not a good idea but I think I’m only talking myself out of it because it’s something I’ve never had to do.
