My new sled came with airride seats which are very nice on the big water of "sled friendly" waters. Heater/defroster and wipers are a must for early morning launches. I went out and purchased a large handheld spotlight for early and late launch and trailering, would like a built in better but the portable is more versatile. I have a 350 chev and a kodiak pump, which is overkill for most rivers but lots of power is a personal comfort zone. DRIVE the final four choices BEFORE any purchase!!!! they all handle differently. Full top, sides and a drop is nice for keeping what heat you can make around you. I also have pressurized water (hose) in the fishbox which makes cleanup of boat and keepers easier, Fourth week with boat and have released all so far, but the floor is clean. Like houses, you never have enough storage. I also stayed away from carpet for cleanliness reasons. Have the anchor system installed by the builder, it will be a cleaner install and you wont have to do it. I prefer a closed cooling system but not an issue if you go with an outboard. A shameless plug for EAGLE POWERBOATS (changing to Boulton) I shopped sleds for over 6 weeks and this builder offered most bang for the buck.
20 ft. 350/kodiak 3 stage pump nearly all bells and whistles, tandem, braked trailer, 9.9 honda 4 stroke, towing cover, top, whole nine yards 28k FOB medford. He will also split out the bill so you only pay sales tax on the HULL and TRAILER. Several k in savings!!
Bob-
I will take 5 courteous sled owners over a jerk anytime, but your comment is VERY understandable as most jerks seem to have boats without oars. I reccommended your service today based only on the comments here, but am confident that if you have time for the extra business they will be quite satisfied!!
