I fished out of a Ranger 27T, which is a 17-6 Crestliner hull with a Ranger interior and a 75 Mariner. I consider myself a multi species angler, but the spacious front and rear decks and lack of much gunnel made it just what I was looking for. From flippin' and pitchin' for bass on The Mississippi backwaters, to fishing for panfish and walleyes in the same areas, to throwing for the dominant predator in MN and WI, this boat could handle it all. Big open waters like Cass that could get rolling in a minute, to smaller ponds that we could launch in easily. You can never be too spacious, and as far as 'tippy', I took out a noted fiberglass boat salesman, and told him to go and stand in the very back corner. When he did and we didn't tip more than an inch, he said, "This is the finest tin boat that I've ever fish out of."
It will soon be for sale as I make the move to another gunneless boat. Keep an eye on that forum, or keep in touch with me.
