Alumacraft Navigator 165

For crooked creek I have another vehicle. Native Watercraft Ultimate 12.

Mine ain't that fancy. I don't even know who made it anymore. Bought it at a discount sporting goods store for $150. It floats tho, so I'm not complaining. Unless I have to paddle against the current. Then I start cussing myself for buying such a peice of @#&^%$#.

I'm bumping this to include new pictures.

So I'm assuming you're having fun!

[rps]

Oh yes.

rps,

What's the name of that magnet tool bar. I could really use one of those.

[rps]

This may be hard to believe, but the package it came in does not have a brand name. It was made in China, and I am sure more than one company sells it. I bought mine through Amazon. What you see is the 18 inch size. The yellow you see is a thin plastic film. At some point I will probably have to peel it off. The unit was 17 or 21 dollars I think.

Don't know if you're still checking this thread, but I got a 2010 Navigator 165 Sport and can't figure out what size trolling motor to put on it. I'm going with a MK Terrova (w/sonar), but Alumacraft rep and dealer say the boat should have a 54" shaft. It only comes in 48" or 60", so not sure which way to go. What length is yours and how does it work?

Mine is the 80 pound thrust, 24 volt system with the 60 inch shaft. A 54 shaft would work. Be sure you have them mount it so the head does not stick out past the gunnel. I wasn't, and they did, and it's a PITA when I put the boat in the slip or pull up to a dock for gas.

BTW, I love the boat.
