I have an 1850 fish hawk that has been through war and a 692 ranger. Like the above mentioned it depends on how you fish. I have rode in an X190. That is a fun boat!! I like my glass boat 90 percent of the time over my aluminum boat. If I had to go back to one boat it would be the 1850 because it isn't even remotely as nice as the glass boat, but on the other 10 percent of the time I can fish whereas with a glass boat I would be home watching TV. I have landed the 1850 in a parking lot before. I have broken 3" of ice to get out and fish. I have drove through a foot of snow with salt and gravel on the road on the way to a lake. I have drove down mucky sloppy gravel roads on the way to a lake to fish. I will just not do any of those things with my Ranger. For most fishermen a glass boat is definitely the way to go if possible. Determine how you want to fish and go from there.
