[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 511877, member: 3438"] My son choose Towne because it was closer than Lakeside, but it was still 3 hours away. Towne negotiated a little better price too. The only support we have needed has been phone calls and email. They sent decals and touch-up paint, etc under warrenty. Lakeside gets allot positive comments on the FB G3 Boats and G3 Jet Boats groups. They seem to like it better than Towne. I think they only install MK trolling motors, and that might limit you to Humminbird products, for better integration. I'd see if they would install LiFePO4 batteries over LA, for the trolling motor. Minimize the weight gain. I think they will install pods on the 18 and 20 footers that would help with your draft. If you add talons, probably want the extra bouancy, but might create a mounting dilema. We only use/have anchor lock. I only have "old" electonics. Mainly use it for depth monitoring and GPS navigating, marking the path through the shallow sections. Use the side scan some when the smallies are still in their deeper water wintering locations. ie find the structure they are hiding behind. We use Google Maps and Bing to review satalite images to select paths thru new water. Hope that helps some. [/QUOTE]
