I'd have to disagree on the windshield rigs. I've owned two myself and feel they are no different than a dual console. Everyone says they take up a lot of room. What room is taken up in a windshield rig versus a dual console? I still can't figure this one out myself. At times, yes, the wind can grab them a bit easier but over time you get use to it and learn how to run the boat in higher winds.
I've never seen that much difference to where I've thought why do I own a windshield rig. They obviously aren't for everyone, but until you have experience with one and can make that decision confidently, I would definitely suggest not overlooking one if a windshield rig appeals to you. They really do make a great all around option for fishing and family activities.
this...never owned one but certainly enjoy the ride in those I have fished out of and it doesn't take any more room up then dual consoles.
a windshield in a glass boat won't catch that much more wind...and a windshield in a smaller aluminum boat like a Lund can be a god send in rough water |
