I'm open to most brands so long as the condition is good - right now I'm digging the ranger intracoastal models (no carpet). Pretty set on a bass boat, preferably single console. My engine experience has been between a 90 hp Mercury Optimax and a Yamaha 150 four stroke. I liked both. On most 18 foot models, they're usually rigged with a 150 or 175. So long as the computer can be checked and it wasn't abused, I'm pretty open minded. Single axle trailer, with swing tongue of course.

I'm hoping the next one comes with at least one power pole and then I plan on adding a second - preferably will have a jack plate to make easier rigging of poles and transducer. I really want good boat control and positioning on those windy days. I probably won't go as crazy on electronics as I did on the last one. One decent side imaging unit at the console and the bow will be used for 2D and mostly mapping. As for the trolling motor, I'm guessing one with come with a cable TM. I'll get a Terrova and use a quick release set up to switch back when bass fishing.

However the next one comes rigged will definitely steer my decisions. Still got my SpyderLoks to go all around and the rods are all clean n ready!

On a positive note, my wife is really enjoying how clean the garage is
