[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 420841, member: 12925"] My guess is, once you run it and get used to the power trim, you will wonder how you ever got by without it. My boat is heavy and I have had it since August 2002. In that time I have busted 2 shoes. The first one was on the 115 running at night when I hit some chunk rock. The second time was with the 250 on the big rock on my video, it was a sideways hit. I have had numerous straight on hits over the years, rocks, stumps, and logs, several hard hits. Most times it will just scrape off paint, put a small gouge here or there, and bend the grates. Running shallow you will take an occasional hit, but if it is set up right most times it will slide on over like it is designed to do. Those shoes are tough, mine has 500 lbs of motor weight setting on top of it. [/QUOTE]
