    I have a 2000 Tracker stick steer. It sure is handy to be up front all of the time. About 4 poles is all I want to manage. That might be different if they all were different lengths. By the time you get it rigged to spider rig, troll Bandits, and clean your fish on the lake, it gets pretty small. But, then again, there ain't no boat big enough.

    Here is my sticksteer SeaArk forecast: works well for me as I fish by myself often. Very stable and handles rough water well for a 15' 6" boat. I don't spider rig much, by can long line with 4 poles. 40 HP 'rude pushes it about 30 MPH with just me aboard.

    I perfer a stirring wheel, Lowe Stinger 175, widest most stable boat in it's class I love mine and I dont feel like im going to fall off the side when im up front with a fishing partner side by side. Storage and set up are great with up front and rear big live/bait wells. Check one out

    Lowe Stinger 195. I thought it might be too big......but it ain't. Room for all I got. Stable. Well made, better'n most.

    Just wish it was paid for.
