Forgot to mention this.

I got a ride in a Triumph boat this afternoon:

powered by a Squeezuki 150 EFI four joke.

Gotta tell you - for an entry level one man fishing boat, this ain't
to bad. It's light as all get out and the T-top is cheap thin walled
aluminum. It's also tippy with little or no beam to match the length.

It's ok for what it is, but not my cup of tea.

Apparently, you were so impressed with the engine, you thought it had
10 more horsepower than it really had!

It was most probably the 140HP DF140....

Agree. After riding in a Triumph, and then in a Scout, I definitely prefer
the Scout, even at $5-6K more money. Now I'm leaning towards the Key West,
if I can get a decent trade-in for the Proline. Should know something in a
day or two.
