Location: Hayward, WI | I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Alumacraft Navigator. Really nice layout for any type of fishing in my opinion. Getting a 17 foot anything with the motor maxed out (usually a 115) might take a little searching. The only problem with the Navigator is the oldest ones are year 2000 models. Might be hard to find one for under 10 grand, especially if has the hp maxed out. Still might find them though. Really, the 16 foot boat has a fair amount of room.
The crestliner looks pretty nice too, and you might be able to find a late 90's 1750 with a 90 or 115 around 10K.
From what I have have seen, the alumacraft and crestliner fishhawk are what I would be looking at. Actually, I am shopping for a used boat - and they are what I am looking at. Alumacraft navigator 1st choice, Fishhhawk 2nd, and not considering much else unless I can find a great deal on a Tuffy deep vee.
