Location: Ft. Wayne, Indiana | Hey everyone
Im looking for some advice on what boat to buy. I will be fishing with 3 people in the boat most of the time and will be taking trips to LSC and some other big minnesota waters in the future. I am looking at buying a used boat, I'm just unsure as to which direction to go.
Also, not looking to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a Ranger 620 or something like that.
Thanks Everyone |

| You should look at 1998-1999 ranger 690, I currently just sold mine to get a newer 620. I was very pleased with the 690.. I am from minnesota, and fish all the big ponds here and also LOTW. I have had that boat in 3 1/2 to 4 footers many times. Anyone who has owned a 690 know what I am talking about. People say that its ranger best hull. Plus they are rated for 175 which means it doesnt guzzel to much gas, and it goes 50-52 mph. Just a sweet rig, a nice one can be found from mid 17's to 13,000 |

| The late 90's champion fish hunters are nice and will be in your range too. |
