FYI, Alaska Series is coming out with a raft to compete with the Solar. Just had Jim King patch a raft and he told me that it will handle a 35 HP on a 50 horse power head, has a tunnel and an aluminum floor. He said it will be much more durable and have more bottom surface space between transom and the end of the tubes, like on his jet ranger rafts. Plans looked good to me. He said it would be out this spring and is not attending the sportsman's show.
