I've fished out of drift boats, jons, and kayaks for a long time. Occasionally out of of a regular boat, but never really out of one that I was entirely fond of. But I'm finally in a position where I can afford a new motor boat. Don't necessarily need, or even want something brand new. I just want something simple, that can handle the waters around Hayward, WI. I won't be fishing anything like ML or Leech.

A little about me... I fly fish only. Muskies, bass and pike. The reason I mention this is that I like a relatively clear front/back casting area to avoid catching line.

I generally fish alone, or with one other guy. If there are three of us, we'll head to the rivers with a drift boat.

I would like to keep this purchase in the $10,000 range if possible.

I have no brand preference whatsoever.

And lastly, I need to be able to pull it with a 2013 Escape with the 2.0 Ecoboost. So something on the lighter side is definitely a must.


Any suggestions on boats I should look at?
