[QUOTE]Muskydanno621 - 3/18/2016  11:49 AM

Had a 20 foot bass boat and moved to a 621.  Both have advantages over the other however on my home waters (i.e. leech, mille lacs)i prefer the deep V much more. I found Longer bass boats ride surprisingly well but re entry in the wrong wave spacing  is ugly off big waves compared to deep v (in my experience )and especially at rest when casting.I washed the deck much more in my bass boat than i ever have in the 621 and taking a wave over the side on mille lacs coming out of cove bay one time sent me to the want ads searching for a deep V. Would never go back. Other than speed and ease of figure 8's i can't see an advantage. Storage to me is  a wash in that size boat.My 621 is the older hull so it sits pretty low to begin with at rest. I like my windshield and like the floor space. If i was going to fish small water all the time mostly by myself or with a second guy i would opt for the bass boat, but for the big lakes i fish with three people in the boat bass boats are definitely not the ticket. I would like to see what the center consoles do in that situation since i am seeing a few guys running pathfinders on big water.  Basically it comes down to personal preference and your style of fishing as said above. The longer hulls of both styles of boats handle the moderately big stuff fine overall.[/QUOTE]
