| 2005 starcraft c star 166 wih a a sixty horse or larger. I have one with a 60 Merc 4 stroke and love it!  I believe the hull is very similar if not the same as the Crestliner. 32 gallon fuel tank, I can easily get an eight foot rod in the rod locker, need to try a 8'6", don't think I can do that without bending it some though. And she handles rough water pretty well. This will fall around your 10K budget used. This boat is rated to 125, which I believe would be a CRAZY ride, but it is what it is, mine will do about 34 on the GPS the way it is with two guys 3 tackle boxes a big Kahuna and all the other crap we throw in there.  Also for double duty it has little jump seats in the rear casting deck that work great for the kids when it is family time. How many of these other boats have that rod storage, fuel tank, price etc.? Maybe if I can find some good pics on this computer of the boat I'll post them. Only complaint I have is the nose runs a little higher than I had hoped, good trolling motor makes up for that though. Good luck, and don't worry you'll love whatever you buy as long as the motor runs good. | |
