You might rethink the idea of going smaller in order to get into smaller N. WI lakes at the landings. I run a 619 which is, I believe, the smallest of Rangers' 'big boats'. I think people would be VERY SURPRISED to learn what little lakes and rural landings I can launch into. Honestly, the only lakes I've not tried to put in on are some super-small no motor bass lakes that don't have ski's anyhow.
Think about what is worse, being on big water being bobbed around like a cork, or learning how to manuver a bigger rig into a smaller landing. I money is on comfort on big water. On V this summer I was on Big Bay and it was ROCKIN'...believe me, there were no 'smaller' boats out there with me.
Hosestly, you would be very surprised at what small lakes I can fish.
Can a boat like that be dumped into smaller waters? Absolutely, BUT, his question or part of his requirements in looking for a boat was stated, basically a tournament boat, but not a huge Ranger. A 690 is a huge Ranger, it's on a tandem axle for cryin out loud, which most are, that's a big boat, so is a 619. That's exactly what he's NOT looking for. Most wouldn't want a boat like a 690 and a 619 on a single axle. |
