I've always heard that Tohatsus and Mercs under 30 hp are the same engine but Tohatsus are less expensive so you might take that into consideration. Just my 2 cents

Also I would definitely make sure you park it far away from any trees in case one falls in high winds.

I think that the widest I've seen being made currently is the Roughneck 1455 which is 55" wide at the bottom. You normally can get welded boats wider than riveted so I would look, like previously said, at Alweld and Weldbuilt for wider boats.

Thanks a lot The carpet is outdoor grade that I bought at home depot..not sure on the brand

That is very interesting and definitely has something to do with my motor. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I was thinking. Canoeman, thanks for the reply. Why do they lose power and is there a way to prevent or lesson the impact of that?

Thanks for the comment! I don't think it is something as major as the cylinder, it only has around 30 hours on it and the prop seems fine.

Welcome! That boat looks great! I like the high sides.
