Just wanted some opinions from owners and people that fishe out of them. How do they handle rough water? Do you get soaked? There are some good deals out there on used 619's, Tritons, and Tuffys....... Just trying to narrow the field when i'm ready to buy again
Thanks, PS

PS Also saw some Yarcraft 17'ers that look like they will do the job! Have only had a 617 Ranger, and really liked her........

I've got Jonnysled's Ranger 200, which is a center console, but I believe built on the 620 or 619 hull. Very dry, very stable. I fish Lake St. Clair from it, and this lake stands up at a moment's notice. Jon described the boat as an SUV when I bought it from him, and that's an accurate description of that hull. Had it out in a small craft advisory last weekend. Took a couple over the bow, but stayed dry from spray and the boat did awesome.

I've been running an '01 619 for three years and love it. I have a full windshield and 200 Evie. Big water on Vermilion not too bad. Smaller engine affords better gas mileage, too.
