ive got a 99 1750 fishhawk. i love it other than all the loose screws and nuts. mr worall, i was just wondering if there was a reason why you went with an optimax over the verado?

gills,

I ran the Verado and liked it just fine. I like the Opti better for power, fuel efficiency, weight, and bottom line reasons. The 150 Opti is a great motor!

We run a 2005 Fisher 170Hawk, with a 2006, 2 stroke 90 horse Merc. Same hull as a Tracker, but less in price. If anyone has ever had any compliants about our boat, it is that we do not have a kicker. 98" beam is plenty stable for us. If it fit in our budget, however, I'd be running with Muskymaj or Shep's ride.

'07 Tuffy 1890 DW
200hp Opti, 9.9 Merc 4-stroke kicker
Motorguide Wireless TM
Humminbird 917 sonar/gps on the dash
Lowrance 500-series sonar and gps on the bow

sitting behind that windshield is really really nice, especially going 60mph. i'm sure i'll like it even more when the rain and snow are blowing. good design places the windshield where it's not in the way of fishing at all.

I have an '01 Alumacraft MV Tex Special right now (bassboat) but my next boat will be a Stratos 176XT...I'm surprised no one else fishes out of a bassboat. A v-bottom is not necessary in Illinois, Iowa or most of Wisconsin, and its so much easier to fish out of a bassboat.

Funny that you posted this, I am in the process of buying a Stratos 200 Pro XL I do agree with you that it's a bit easier to fish out of a boat with low sides.

Schuler, I think a lot of people like having that kicker motor and take a trip or two up north every year. I would rather fish out of a bass boat than a v-bottom, but that kicker motor is something most anglers either need or feel comfortable having. What happens if the big motor goes out? Not only for lakes in Minnesota and Canada, but even on Shelbyville or Kinkaid it can be a big problem. Its probably better to have a smaller motor to troll with rather than using the big motor and use a bunch of gas. Not to mention the lakes in Illinois that have a horsepower restriction. They may be small, but having to use to trolling motor to get back to the launch into gusting winds is not fun and can take a long time. (been there)

btw...my boat isn't mentioned. Oh yeah thats because its a Northwood haha

PANTLEGGER, nice boat! What year is it?

Now I know who is at least $20K in credit card debt to make up for me not having any. I can't imagine the price of some of these rigs totally mind blowing!!!

If you are patient there are some good deals to be found, we got this lightly used 01' ranger with dual Electronics, 175hp V-max, and 18' in length for 15K I believe. Its not a deep V but I love it and fish it out on Mille Lacs and other big waters ok. What I really like is it goes 60 mph loaded with gear and carrying 3 people.

Here's my Basscat I picked up a couply months ago. Had it out on Green River Lake and Cave Run so far.....I'm looking forward to having it on the lake for a whole week for our Canada Trip. I can't wait to see the difference!!!! I grew up fishing the Kawarthas in a 14' Mirrocraft with a 9.9. Usually four of us standing up in it fishing at once! Lot's of good memories though.

Running an 05 Skeeter SX180 with an 05 F115 4 Stroke. Couldn't ask for a better boat for what you pay..... Most of the lakes I fish are around 1000 acres and it is perfect. Handles big water great! Better than most would expect for a 17'8" bass boat.

48-50 mph no problem....... It makes a huge difference being close to the water while muskie fishing.
