I have a 20' Rogue Marine Pro Steelheader with a 5.7 engine.
When new, it weighed 2200lbs. It now weighs a little under 3000lbs, with down riggers 4 batteries, bow mounted trolling motor,T-8 Yamaha trolling motor, radios,bow/stern anchors and gear.
Bought mine direct from Matt at Rouge Marine in Merlin.With the trailer, I sit at 4500lbs with 40 gallons of fuel.
I bought the boat in 2008, no problems so far other than driver error. I tore the top off and broke all the windows on the lower Rogue river. I have since installed a high thrust nozzle to the jet. This lowered my top speed a little, but I get on step in less than 2 boat length.
Thanks for the input. I found a nice Custom Weld (out of Idaho) I'm going to check out.
Great you have bought from Matt! I've known him since I was 12 years old...great guy. I've got a call in to see if they still sell direct to the public, maybe get the old friend price. lol.
Nice boat. I'm going over to Clemin's as well to window shop.
Thanks all!
