Can't find one, or the Mercury outboards, in any of the stores in BR. Bass Pro doesn't have the little Topper boats, either.

They switched to Apex marine aluminum boats and the were bad... worse than alumacraft. It shouldn't be hard to stumble upon an aluminum boat in south Louisiana though, right now the boat dealerships have stacks of them out front and would be happy to sell anything right now. They haven't had mercury outboards for a while, but they sometimes have the little coleman outboards... which are probably the same thing.

Tohatsu, made the little motors for Mercury. My 2019 25 hp Mercury is the same as a 2019 25 hp tohastsu. FYI, tohastsu parts are cheaper.

I was talking to a lady that works for basspro and they getting the toppers aluminum boats in this year.

Other one that sells a lot of aluminum boats like you want is Emmett’s Marine in Brookhaven, MS. H&H Marine got some weldcrafts in back in October. Weldcraft more of a smaller welded boat vs riveted boat.
