[quad143]

well guys finally did it i'm a big catfishing guy fish alout of tournament on big lakes down here in missouri ks and been fishing out of flat bottoms jon boats for a long time and got tire of fighting windy days rough rides and taking on lots or water so i just bought a new starcraft boat

it is a left over 2009 fishmaster 2100 fully loaded with tandem trailer and with a 200hp verado motor.

only question i have is does any know if this motor will push this boat good or so i pony p the cash and drop a 250 on it

Welcome to the SC board and Congrats!!

sounds like a great boat!

I'd run it and determine whether or not it's too your liking!

Cat tourney fisherman usually have 100+ gallon livewells...fill up your livewell with water (and hopefully a big blue!), 2 of your buddies and drive it like you're late for weigh-in! I think loaded down (package weight), that boat is approaching 2-ton.

Lastly (and most importantly), hurry and supply some pictures of your rig (alot of them) before mods ban you! :happy:

Re: new starcraft!

congrats, and welcome! i suspect you'll be fine with the 200 but BF has a good suggestion there. you really don't need extra holeshot for your application.

the dealer called me they juts got it off the water for the intital test runs and set up..said they only open up for a little bit but with 2 guys full fuel and full livewell they were hitting 49 pretty quick
