so, i've got my choices narrowed down to the alumacraft escape 145sc and the mirrocraft troller 145sc.now i need input on which one.anyone own/used to own any of these boats? know anyone who had/has one? any thoughts besides get a lund(never going to happen)? i don't care too much about the cost,i want to get the better boat. i'd love to hear your thoughts and horror stories.this is what i've got so far.prices are within 1k of each other.alumacraft is 6" wider,and i have a finite amount of garage space. alumacraft is max 40hp,mirro is 30. gas economy over speed is a wash.weight is close to equal depending on options.alumacraft has a thicker hull,mirro has thicker sides.alumacraft is 2 inches deeper.storage is almost the same on either. livewells are not a factor because it's illegal to transport live fish here so it will be either storage or a cooler.mirro stock seats are way nicer,but alumacraft can be ordered in the same color as my truck/camper combo.the mirro dealer made me a really good offer on the new tohatsu 30 efi.i am leaning towards an etec,but it was a really good deal.a couple thousand less.and yes,the dealer service for tohatsu is getting better,there are 3 dealers that service in my area alone.i'm really stuck on the fence here.
