I have a tournament pro 185 and I don’t understand the trophy over tournament issue. Two different boats from my perspective. Trophy better for big lake and family while tournamenet pro better for bass and walleye. Low sides on the tournament makes it easier to control in the wind. I love mine. Hooked up with a 150 etec and it is absolutely everything I need. Hope they bring them back.
I was there in the late 60’s. I know it has changed a lot since then but all I can say is that the Thais are great people and very friendly. Bangkok in the 60’s was alive. Make sure you visit some of the Buddhist temples. Another place that was great to visit then were the beaches in southern Thailand.
