I've got a 188 DVS Ranger, the Muskie Edition. Huge casting decks, two windshields, 50 inch livewell and a 7.5 foot rod locker. Tons of storage too. Great muskie boat. I use it on inland lakes up to 3000 acres and it has also seen time on Green Bay. It handles rough water well, but just like in any boat, you have to use common sense when on the Great Lakes.

As far as kickers go, you can put a kicker on almost any bass boat. If you look around long enough, you will find people who specifically put kicker plates on the back of bass boats. I worry about performance when considering this and have not done it. I may in the future, but I'll take the kicker off when I do not want to troll.

But yah, the only downside to a bass boat for muskie fishing is the kicker motor. Now if you get a 4 stroke engine on the bass boat, you can troll, but you lose some power on the hole shot.
