Well the Warrior has got a self draining deck but dunking your outboard , NOT SMART.
Think everyone makes a mistake or two with a new boat but hopefully not that big.

Had the older 165 they have improved so much although a good boat these new models are awesome !
I fitted the cuddy extension which was a fixed frame when up. Really like the idea of the pram canopy and 2 way reversable seat backs .
My friend has the 175 and nice boat but too big I feel for one to handle. The 165 is an ideal size for one man .
And the 75hp is the right size to push it with 4 anglers.
Had a 40 then upped to a 60 Bigfoot much better but felt an evinrude etec 75 hp would have been the right choice .
But, I'm drifting again ! Brings back happy and some funny memories !
Thanks for sharing and Enjoy ! ! ! Take it out every opportunity you get : )

Will be used mainly with two of us , my son and myself.
With occasional extra friends fishing so opted for 70hp as a good balance over the 60hp , but did consider a bigger engine.
