Cottage is going to be a little small I have the feeling. I do the pro cabin solo, 3 holes and heater and your full. Kinda tight with 2 people trying to fish.
On rural water. Our old water heater had so much sediment it would not flow. Tried to flush with no luck. Had a plumber check it, the sediment was higher than the bottom burner which it burnt out. New installed, lesson learned. Annual flush
I almost dropped the coin on the Hustler. Best bang for the buck on zero turn IMO. Didn't care for the rougher ride and the noise behind your head compared with regular rider.
Paid the extra for the green traditional rider.
