Hewescraft Advice needed ..... - 02/23/10 07:28 PM
Wondering if any Hewescraft owners could post some opinions .....
Have a friend on the cusp of buying a 16' Sportsman but trying to figure out which kicker motor to put on it. He is looking at either an 8 or 9.9 but the question is this. THe salesman where he is looking to purchase the boat is telling him that he has to go with an XL shaft kicker vice just a long shaft kicker. He called Hewescraft and was told he could really go either way. Is there any Hewescraft owners out there with a 16 Sportsman that runs a standard long shaft vice the Extra Long shaft that would post their experiences as to how the long shaft performs? Any issues, etc...
Thanks!
