Neighbor kids bought the crackwhores house next to me & fix'd it up inside really nice.
Smart guys, never spend a dime on their GF's, own & run a good electrical biz.
On a budget, they bought the new Trophy 25' Sport fishing boat w/cuddy cabin. Low cost boats. Ya get what ya pay for though.
The winch arm on the trailer snapped completely the first day they were putting the boat back on, electrical (alt and batts and cables) has burned out several times,, dam,, everything that can go wrong keeps going wrong.
Those boats take a beating in Pacific waters. If you've even been out in the San Pedro channel after noon, you'd know.
I gave them good advise and they joined vessel assist. They use it.
Alpha drive is always giving them fits,, warranty is running out this month.
They asked me:
Can it be the Alpha drive is to small for such a brutal application? Takes a pounding.
I've never own'd one so Damfino?
It seems to be their biggest concern, give them the most trouble.

What motor is in the boat? I don't know if the drive would be too weak for the application if there's 2 hamsters pushing it..
