| Hello All,
Looking for some input on this boat. Good, bad or indifferent. I have always heard good things but would like to know if anybody has been in the 1785 on decent water. Live in WI and fish the bay and winnebago often. I would like to go up to a 19/20 fter but $ is a little tight. I also fish northern wi lakes often which would be nice having a slightly smaller rig for some of the landings. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike |

| My father has an older model 1785, and my wife and I have fished with it many times on 50,000+ acre lakes in all sorts of weather. I can't compare it with anything else, as it's literally the only boat I've ever used, but it really does handle waves and choppy water well. They call it a dry boat, and that's certainly been the case when we've used it. We've been pleased enough that it's definitely influenced our own search for a boat, and we'll most likely end up with a Yar-Craft as well. It's amazing how well-maintained boats can keep so much of their value, we'll probably have to settle for something smaller as well. Hope this helps. |

| I bought a 2000 1785sc with a 2001 135 hp Opti this past winter. I absolutely love the way this boat handles big water. It's the first fiberglass boat that I've owned and because of the way it handles big waves i'll never go back to an aluminum boat. Like the other guy said, this truly is a dry ride and comfortable ride. I find friends and family that are used to Lunds bracing themselves when we're about to hit a big wave running from spot to spot, and when the boat just slices through it they can't believe it, and they're dry! |
