Subject: RE: What Boat?


tr7, what kind of budget are you working with?
I have a Ranger 690 and LOVE that boat..love the interior layout, just the right size for big and small waters... Many who have owned them still rave about their old 690s even though they now have 620-621s...there have been some smokin deals on those I have seen of late...one guy sold one for about 5k under value recently...
You can find a good 690 for mainly the 15-19k range... there have been some very nice 681s out there recently for 12-14k..great boats too with the same type of layout as the 690 just a bit smaller overall...
Ranger made a 690 tiller as well that are far and few between but I have a friend who has one, a 2000 I believe and I have fished out of it a few times and it is a great rig as well....
Lund tillers are great too..had one for 10 yrs and loved it but from a guy who had a Lund for 10 yrs to now owning glass....if you can afford a glass boat, get glass...they handle the wind/waves and just don't get pushed around nearly as much in the wind as aluminum...
guess it depends on your budget and where you fish...if you fish any big water I'd shy away from an esox mag....
my 2 cents..
