Posts: 2865 Location: Brookfield, WI | but is it practical? I do a lot of driving around for my business and consequently see quite a few boats for sale on the side of the road. My wife is probably not quite ready to let me buy a boat after just one year of fishing, but I'm always on the lookout. I drove by one yesterday that really caught my eye and would like a few opinions from those of you with more experience. This baby is a real looker but I'm afraid it might be too much boat for a newbie like me. At a glance it seems to have all the characteristics I might want. It has a center console. After driving Slamr's and Joel's console boats a little bit (emphasis on little) I'm convinced when the time comes I want a boat with a console. Its design makes me think it would be real stable, especially in big water. Two comfortable seats. I like to sit in a soft seat at times during the day, and feel comfort is important when trolling. Powerful four stroke 25 horse Mercury. Add this to the sleak design and big waves should never be a problem. Fishing with three might be a little tight, but maybe this is offset by the positives. Anywhooo, here's a picture. Would this be a good starter boat for a relative newbie like me, or am I setting my sites too high. Kevin I'm not angry, I'm hungry.

Posts: 2865 Location: Brookfield, WI | tomyv - 6/6/2007 9:57 AM Hopeful, if you do get that boat, don't race slamr.............his new boat is "Scary Fast." I'm about comfort, not speed. Note the nicely padded seats offered by the GILLGETTER. Not to mention my kidneys and bladder have just recovered from our little high speed cruise around the Milwaukee Harbor following Joel back in March.  Those crazy kids. Kevin I'm not angry, I'm hungry. | ||

| Kevin, pick that thing up, mount a grill up front, bring it to the Rhinelander outing, and cruise around selling freshly grilled meats. Should make enough to pay for the rig. | |||

Posts: 3242 Location: Racine, Wi | Kev, you could rig that sucker to troll the big pond. Big grill smoke'n in the front and the ladies in the bikinis (or Slamr in a bikini) laying on the back deck. You'd be the envy of all the captains out there. Slamr, I'll race ya.  | ||
