Location: Wisconsin | Hey all. I have have been fishing out of the same boat since i bought it in 1987, a 680T that I absolutely love. Do to family needs, I need to switch to a single console rig. I would love some input on what may fish similarly to the 680T. I like fishing skinny water as well as lakes with unimproved launches, so I am hoping for something similar size wise. I have looked but really don't see anything in glass made today. Any ideas you could share? Thanks!

Location: Wisconsin | Well I was hoping for glass for the dry storage and the nicer feel of glass. Trying to get a new boat that I will keep another 20+ years. I have the green light for a new boat so I have to act!:) |

| Not the answer you want but.......find a used Ranger 681 same boat as yours basically only with a console. Tear the motor off replace with a new motor. Get all new electronics and trolling motor. My biggest regret was selling my 1998 681VS. |
