Location: Eau Claire, WI | I've got a 692 and I love it. Nice layout and perfect size for me. I typically fish big water like the V, LOTW, etc. The smallest I hit is about 1200 acres but lake size is not always relevant to quality of landing. I like the second console and I don't think it gets in the way at all. Next year, I will add a rear deck extension. This rig fishes three no problem.
I've had it on big rollers in ML and other places and it's handled it fine. It's also at home on smaller waters.
I've been able to launch this boat anywhere I want except for once and I just trailered to a different ramp. I dont have the shallow water launch on my trailer.
This is a boat I plan to keep for a long time. If the motor dies (currently a 150 opti), I will repower and keep on going like BN did.
Plenty of great boats out there, enjoy the journey, do your homework and when the right rig comes along...have your financial ducks in a row so you can pull the trigger immediately. you snooze you looze. LOL.
