Thread: Biggest tin boat?

listen to your wife regardless--YOU will be much happier

Go with one of the big Seaark boats. They have Bay,Cat styles that would make great Crappie boats.

Looked at a War Eagle 2170 but it was huge. Some MCC members fish out of them. Bigger ain't allways better. Check out the degree on the hull before buying.

May want to look and drive my 961 Blackhawk. In the price range your looking at. If you only fish open water all the timeI would look at the 2170. I would recommend at least a 150 on anything over 20 feet. JMO.

Yeah...Bigger aint always better... I know this sounds silly, but I want the boat to be big enough, without being to big. I will fish open water with it, but also small ponds, the old river at Grenada, shallow water in the spring, bream, bass, crappie, may even put it in the river to catch some catfish during the summer....

I am just like Goldilocks. Its gotta be "just right."

Even a 2072 is going to be oversized in the old river run when water is down. I've had my 20' cat in there a bunch and when it's low, it can be a pain to load. That said, if all I had was 24', it could be done.

The problem with all tin boats, is a 1648 rides just the same as a 2072 on the big water. Some better than others, but none are great.

Wannabe...

Buy a good used boat hard head, crappie24s boat was in your price range and its one helluva ride!!!!
Get off the wallet, buy a big glass boat and your grandkids will thank you one day.
What would moma rather have been in by the time you and I got back to the ramp this past summer, mine or a big tin boat? You know the answer and mine is 25 years older than anything you are looking at.
