Dude, SMSBass with a 150 JohnnyRude Carbed motor that boat should scream??? Obviously better with the 175 but those Carbed motors Rock, very reliable. Its obviously gonna drink more gas than a DI but be a lot less money to fix IF it breaks, I like the old school motor for reliability. I didnt know you fished that much dude, Damn, thats alot of days on the water, Id love to be able to do that…..If you have pics of your guys Cats next to eachother shoot them to me, Brannon
