Location: Southern Indiana
I’m soon to be in the market for a new used boat and I’m looking for advice. I’ve only fished Indiana so nothing over 750 acres. I currently have a 17’ Fisher modified V, I really like the layout but it’s now 20 years old & I’m looking to upgrade. Looking to stay in the 17-18’ range as I fish solo or one other guy 95% of the time. Dislikes are it’s aluminum and blows around like a cork and the carbureted 2 stroke is finicky. Ideal boat to me looks like a Ranger 618 which is hard to find or a Tuffy 1760 that is even harder to find. I’m in southern Indiana so Tuffys are nonexistent here and bass boats are the norm, which I’m not opposed to if the layout works. Looking for fiberglass with a four stroke, maybe 10 years old so it’s affordable. Don’t hear much about Triton, Stratos, etc, maybe there are other options I haven’t considered?
Thanks in advance and sorry about the long rambling...
