I would have loved to have the 150 but the extra cost for it and hydrolic steering was too much at the moment. I wasn't planning on buying a boat now but my old one reached the end of it's life and needed to be replaced and this is the one that fit for now
The 115 will sip gas so I can't complain about that

It did well. Rode around bayou black for 2 hours. It handles different than my last rig but in a positive way. The 4 stroke is a totally different world than my previous 2 strokes. With 4 adults, 30 gallons of gas and a ice chest of beverages, it planed off without a hitch and at 4300 rpms I'm doing 34mph (GPS). After 2 hours of constant driving, the gas needle still has not passed the FULL line. Hopefully I can take it out fishing Tuesday before I head offshore for a week.
