HEY... What kind of Cajun do you have?
I recently acquired a 190 Pro, and I'm VERY impressed with this boat, especially how well it runs through waves and chop. I test-ran this boat once, and IMMEDIATELY put the other bass boat up for sale! The difference was night and day!
I have the Minn Kota Riptide ST with Co pilot and Auto Pilot, and I am VERY happy with it. At first I didn't like the wrist controller, but after time, I've gotten used to it. Very helpful when docking, too.
I'm still finding stuff on this boat, and am looking for more info also. Maybe we can swap some notes. Feel free to email me- tonyhill@tidalwave.net

I have the 150 Pro....small little 15 footer with a Yamaha 85hp on the back. That little boat will MOVE and you're right, they handle pretty great for their size. This forum has a lot of Cajun info, but for the most part things are drying up quick since they were bought out and the Cajun line disappeared:

Where do you run it most of the time? I spend a lot of time on the Pocomoke River and of course out on the Magothy which is right in my back yard so to speak...
EDIT: Nevermind...I just went over there and I se that you've alreay found the place....

Spot,
Nice boat! I bet that 15-footer will MOVE!!! I'm also guessing that she is really great on fuel economy. It's amazing how a good hull design changes how a boat rides and handles, although they all mostly look the same.
The bass boat I sold was 15' with a 70 HP on the back, and she would do about 50. That speed was a little scary in that boat. But 10 gallons of gas literally ran her all summer! I mostly ran the trolling motor while fishing, but it was still very good on gas.
I live close to Lake Anna, so that's where I am most of the time. So far, so good. Lots of bass, catfish, crappie and so on, and recently, I discovered the stripers. Pretty cool to catch them in fresh water. I plan to learn more as I get out there more.

Goodies
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...
The BEST deal I've seen for under-gunnel lights was a 12-pack of waterproof amber running lights (like for a truck or trailer) for $19.99.
I have them mounted in pairs under my gunnels, and also a pair inside the center console. VERY nice for night-time fishing. The amber color is perfect for night time. Bright enough to really see by, yet it doesn't kill your night vision. I've seen boats with the red lighting, and my eyes don't benefit very much from that color. Here is an old phone pic of my floor at night:
Probably not as nice as the strips, but NOT BAD for $20.
