| Hi Mike,
Yes, the ability to easily mount downriggers and rod holders is also a consideration for me because I do plan on hitting some bigger water for lake trout, trout and salmon. I know there are various brackets available that I could make work on all the boats, but I think I would be limited in what I could use on the Alumacraft and/or I'm not sure I would be happy with the results. I'd definitely like to keep the drilling and bolting to a minimum.
I thought about this a bunch last night and this morning and while I do like the price point of the Alumacrafts, I think that for my needs and wants the Pro Guide makes more sense, especially if I can go with the 1725 and pickup some length.
Something has to give given my budget. Either I go with the engine I want as the number one priority or the hull I want as the number one. My brain is telling me that the latter is likely going to be the far bigger deal once I have the boat and actually get out on the water. In many ways this is a simply ridiculous "problem" to have, LOL.
Thanks for the input!
