Was wondering if any of you guys had the chance to own both of these boats. If so, which hull do you prefer? I am trying to sell my boat and am planning to get a 620. I know all the size differences between the two, the 06 wins that hands down. Is there much of a diffenence between the two when you are fishing in them? I have been told to get the 05 by a few people as they seem to think the boats are dryer and handle better? I know I can save a few extra thousand that way too. I am leaning towards the 06 because of the extra length and width, but have not counted out the 05 either. Any advise would be appreciated.

The 06 620 is a better riding hull. However, if you are going to be tossing baits in 2'+ waves, you will need waterproof boots. While the hull rides better, it also will take water over the bow if you are not moving forward with the big motor. Just one of those deals. No boat is perfect in every situation.

Other differense include no more setback, battery compartments in the floor, more storage, standard air ride seats, taller windscreens are available.

Shep, I will be using it for drifting alot as well on Erie for smallies, but its a perpindicular drift to the wind, I do some musky casting, but mostly trolling....any other thoughts? Really appreciate the input. Do you notice a big difference in room inside, especially in the back. We dont have alot of these boats around here so actually seeing them is a problem, never mind getting a ride in one.
