    aluminum boats?

    Does the nitro 18 ride better than any Lund or Alumnacraft boat you have been in? I’d suspect even the low end fiberglass ride better than top end aluminum boats. ya it does... i had a 18' lund and crestliner, and this is much smoother... the bow stays down now and cuts through the waves...

    Depth Finder/Trolling motor combo

    there are 2 autopilot settings on the newer ones... the "legacy" autopilot sets a point at a certain heading and corrects to that line giving you a smooth path toward it... the "newer" autopilot sets up a group of points to hit, say 100' apart, then steers toward the closest point until it...

    Depth Finder/Trolling motor combo

    i would - never use the record feature and rarely use the spot lock... i just need the extra power of the 36 volt... i used power drives for years... i also put the new hook graphs on the new boat - better technology than 5 year old hd's had for 1/4 the price of the new ones - catch just as...
