Location: Nordeast Minneapolis | Ahhh... the age-old dilemma. I should probably change my login name to 'Phantom Pimp' or something of that ilk, but if you're not familiar, it might be worth a look. Alumacraft Phantom- About 17'-7", hull V somewhere between a bass and a walleye boat, can take a good range of engine sizes and a decent amount of storage. The only water I've seen that I'd really think twice about going out on with it is Lake Michigan on a rolly day... otherwise it does pretty well. It's equally been at home on a 100 acre lake. If you're not into the whole dual-platform thing, I think the Alumacraft Navigator is roughly the same hull with more of a 'Lund Pro-V' configuration. Which, actually, would also be a nice boat... especially if you're going to be fishing with more than 2.
The huge fiberglas boats with dually trailers are beautiful... don't get me wrong. I love 'em, I love fishing out of 'em. But they were just too much boat for me- both in size and price.
But that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong. |
