| I'm thinking about buying a new boat for 2007, well at least new to me. Used or new, I'm looking for the biggest bang for my buck, and I've got about $23,000 bucks in my budget to spend. I usually err on the side of new purchases (home, car, boat, etc.) whenever I can, thats just me.
I fish about 75 days a year, with about 80% of that time being spent on waters between 500 and 2000 acres. The other 20% of the time is spent on the Great Lakes fishing salmon or up on bigger wates of Canada for the week long muskie hunt of the summer. I fish alot with my wife and younger nephews, so a dryer/less jarring ride is desired.
I guess now that you know what my basic needs are, my question for all of you is sort of two part: 1. what things are important to you in looking at a muskie boat and 2. what boat do you recommend?
Thanks in advance!

I prefer a boat that sits a bit lower but you said dryness was important.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | A new 2006 or 2007 1700 Tuff Esox Deep V with a 90 HP 4 stroke or Opti Max would definitely be in that price range loaded up. Slamr runs one and fishes alomost the exact same waters as you by size, I'll let him comment from here. |
