Hi, all I am about to purchase a newish boat. I am currently using an older Alumacraft Deep V but it has been beaten to death from previous owners over the years and currently the engine is blown. I've found a Lowe Roughneck 16" with seems like a 56ish inch hull. Guy is wanting to take my old boat on trade as he has a motor to put on it. The Lowe is a tunnel hull jet drive with a Yamaha jet. I've been fishing alot of small rivers and shallower lakes lately but usually have to wade or bank fish. I'm really diggin the jet drive because I could access these places with ease. I'm not worried about power loss and mileage but I'm very concerned about being able to fish all the usual big water locations in Wisconsin and getting caught out in some 3 and 4 footers in the boat. Plus I've heard they will beat you to death. Which being a center console it should take alot of the pounding out standing but I don't wish to regret getting it on big water. I fish probably about 50/50 between small limited access areas and big water so it is not a simple call to make[/QUOTE]
