I took my 2072 with a 4 stroke 90 out in the headwater to save a blind.....I love this boat in the river but trees and shallow water is not it's cup of tea. 1756 or 1860 with a 40-50 hp is a much better choice
I use the Browning Maxus and love it. I thought about getting a new A5 when they come out next year but it's not like the original, it's an A500 in an A5 body (that's what it looks like to me) I have a A500 as well and don't need another one.
