| ...but I do like to go fast.
ha! this from the guy who also has a speedboat for wakeboarding...
the beauty of this is that it's not a "which is best?" kind of thing.
it's a question of "which is better for my needs?" because they make all kinds of boats.
i spent the last couple years fishing out of a great used boat (Ranger 681T) as well as paying attention when in someone else's boat.
that taught me a TON about what it is i like and dislike in a fishing boat.
i like open space and i like enough storage to keep everything put away but easily accessible.
i like a deep hull but i want to be close to the water when figure-8ing or unhooking a fish.
i like a smooth ride, and i want to move quick but don't need to fly.
i want to be confident in my boat when the weather turns.
and yes, i like to tinker and can't leave well enough alone. i will be tweaking things to my taste, including either converting or creating lockable lure storage compartments. one hint: make sure to get Inhibitor chips for dry lure storage...the lures hold moisture and that will mean rusty hooks if you don't prevent it.
