This weekend I got to run my boat and motor for
About 8 hours, it preformed flawlessly - I ran some shallows, grass beds and
A lot of open water - I didn't have much of a load just me and my dog_ she's
Probably 40 lbs soak in wet, but I did put 5 gallons of gas in my tank
For a little more weight upfront- I down loaded an app from iTunes called "speed box"
And constantly checked it along with my vehicles mph on the way to the ramp.
It was right on the money - the whole way. The copper head 18 (kohler) busted off every time
With no hesitation- I love this motor! The way it's setup is awesome - its a very
Simple design with killer performance! After playing around and figuring
Out the trim I was moving! Every thing from the throttle
To the prop worked great- no regrets on the motor! None. Copper head did a heck
Of a job on this thing. I manged to hit 25mph - when I could find smooth water not chopped up
From the wind- the phowler 1540 lite Jon and the copperhead are a great combo. If your looking
For a smaller rig - contact phowler or copperhead - the customer support is top notch
Outstanding people to do business with.
I did manage to get it stuck trying to go over a levee - Good thing my phowler is relatively light- boat is built like a tank.

Nice rig, so where is the review?
Don't forget to change your profile pic!

How much you pay for the whole rig trailer and all

thats a good lookin lil boat !

Man I love it - I can get into some pretty tight spots _
I can't wait to get it down south in the marsh-

Man this thing is nice I'd love to have something like it for the refugees around here with HP restrictions

You got the clutch on your motor? Heard they started offering it now

No I didn't get a clutch -

have you run it yet with any kind of weight in the boat? How much and how was performance affected?

I ran it yesterday, me (125) & my brother (130 lbs) ,6 gallons
Of gas , fishing stuff and ice chest - performance was awesome -
I couldn't tell a differnce - was getting 22 mph. Great little rig

It will handle a total weight = to 3 men (600lbs) well, just as with the 1840 tested last weekend, when you try and put 4 or more (800lbs or so) in a good boat with the 18, it will slow down to 12-16 mph or so depending on conditions.
