 Which rig to buy
Hey fellas, first post. Planning on buying a new rig, currently considering Excel 1851 w/ a Boss H. What are your thoughts and suggestions?

 Re: Which rig to buy
Might be a good idea to see the H's be proven before buying. Where will you be using the boat and motor, may make a big difference.

 Re: Which rig to buy
In all seriousness, I hope you have good luck with it. Surely customer service will be better than MB and you can give honest reviews.

Use in the atachafalaya basin, MB doesn't have a very good reputation?

 Re: Which rig to buy
Find the closest mm dealer near u and ask around about how the take care of folks who have purchased rigs/motors from them. That's how I narrowed it down service seems to be the key factor they all seem to tear up at some point.

 Re: Which rig to buy
You live in New Iberia, man, you are a spit away from Gator Tail and Pro Drive. I would go with one of them, I think, you are right there.

 Re: Which rig to buy
You need to do your research. I can tell you I have ran MB for a long time. 4 years ago I put a down payment on the H series. 3 months ago I called to find out when my motor was coming. They didn't know and couldn't tell me when. So now I own a new GT and a gator trax. The end.

 Re: Which rig to buy
I'm listening guys,
Dealer in Arkansas that I have done quite a bit of business with told me he has 3 of the H's due for delivery any day now, he is supposed to send me a firm quote next week, probably Tuesday. This doesn't mean I'm going to buy one and also why I'm asking here. Thanks for all the input.
