One thing, if you drop down to a 25 instead of the 30, you would be able to fish more lakes. I don't think 5 hp will make that much difference. Several lakes have a 25 hp and below limit. Not trying to talk bad about your decisions, just throwing the idea out there.

i thought of that and hemmed and hawed. the only lake i know with a 25 hp limlit is julliette.i am thinking maybe a different sticker on my cowling. the difference in price from a 25 to 30 is small. if u try to upgrade the ecu is about a grand after wards. keep the ideas coming.
