Under 20k, boat, double axle magic tilt, 150 Japanese 4-stroke on the back. No electronics or troll motor in that figure though.

To add to my previous post (not an exaggeration): one time out in bastion bay I was putt putting around an old camp and reef looking for any bait signs. Waves were a little heavy and one actually picked up the boat and dropped it on a piling submerged only a few inches below the water. Boat was pivoting around on the piling, but wouldn't move off of it. I had to jump overboard (could stand up, wasn't too deep), wait on another big wave, and shove it off. I was sure there would be damage to hull, but there was not even a dent. Imagine doing that with fiberglass...

dropped mine flat on the boat ramp one time (forgot to put the winch strap on...pulled away with the trailer and BAM)

backed the trailer back up the bow, pushed it off the ramp and back in the water. Not a scratch
