hello, glad to see someone from my area. i'm from lndian lake area,have a 14ft. starcraft we redid last year. spend some time up near you at killdeer catching smallmouth.hope to see your boat when you get it done.
i just sold my pontoon. it was great to catfish out of ,or anyother fishing when you anchor. but to work a shoreline to bass, or panfish was terrible if the wind blew even a little.
my son and i bought one used last year. only it said mercury on it,but it looked just like the one you have. we had no problems at all,we did sell it to upgrade. theguys that bought it fish the same electric circuit we do ,and they are still using it.without a problem.hope you have as much luck...
