Location: Seymour, WI | Here's an update to my muskie boat shopping.
I've been spending alot of time crusing the internet boat classified ads, visiting the local boat dealers, and I made it to a couple of the local boat shows. I've been learning quite a bit about both boats and motors.
There's definately more to learn than I thought there would be. I really think there are quite few aluminum boats that would make for a great muskie fishing layout.
Here's a list of eight different boats that are all very similar in their layout, storage, livewell space, seat configuration, rod locker space and horse power ratings.
1. Crestliner Fishhawk 1750,
2. Alumacraft Navigator 175
3. G3 172
4. Lund Explorer 1700
5. Sylvan Explorer 1700
6. Fisher 17 Pro Avenger
7. Lowe FM 175
8. Tracker Targa 175.
The two motors that I think would best power one of these rigs would be either an Evinrude E-tec or Mercury Optimax in 90- 115 Horsepower.
Now it's just a matter of finding the right combination of boat, motor, trailer and price.
