I tend to agree with most of what's been said....I've personally owned and fished out of a 12 foot jon boat, bass tracker III, stratos 217, and a Ranger 619. Barring the jon boat I've caught the same fish out of all these boats. The biggest advantage has been the room/comfort and the stability of them. With that being said that Ranger is a beast to haul up and down the road but once you sit it in the water it is awesome to fish out of...feel like I left something at home with all the room left over compared to my old stratos....

I second the Ranger Fisherman. (Old or New) I have a 692C 1986 Fisherman and would not trade it for anything expect a new 620. I have it set up for tightlining two people out the front (16 poles) and pull (16 poles) out the back with 2 people. Set up is key.

Memories are made on the water.
Who said that you need to go broke buying a good boat, regardless of which one you get there will be pros and cons. My 17ft alumium Weldcraft runs 35mph with an economical Mercury 50 4 stroke, and does every thing I need it to do. Its not as stable as a 3000lb fiberglass Vhull in rough water, but then I dont go out when its rough if I can help it. A medium trooling motor with 1 battery will trool for two days without charge. You can get a used one simular to it for around 5-6k, 20 years old 2-3k. You can almost always resale them for about what you paid for them, unless you tore something up. The only time you are going to get ripped off at the cash register is if you buy a new one. The value drops 30-40% ten minutes after closing the deal. So, go get yourself a reasonably priced boat and go fishing. You dont make memories on the Internet, They're made on the water.
