WOW!!! That is one serious crappie fishing machine!!

Thanks for the pics Mr. Monk. How fast would that 115 push the 24? How did You like fishing that front deck compared to the one You have now? How was it in the wind compared to the Triton? thanks. Helping me do some homework. looking at either a 2180 dlx or a 2390 dlx. I like the looks of the width of a 90. wish there was a dealer close by that had a hull so I could really inspect it.CF

Both boats would run 45 MPH. One had a 4-stroke while the other had a 2-stroke. As you can see I added a "step" for the front deck. After I added the step, fishing from the front deck was very comfortable. The "step" is actually a stick steer bracket.

The 80 DLX has an upgraded front deck while the 90 DLX has the old style deck as pictured on both of my boats.

The Triton is better in the wind. You will need drift socks for the Skiff. The Skiff is the most stable boat I have ever fished from. The 90 wide has to be even better.

Nice set up

Hey Monk,That thing looks like a crappie BARGE!you ought to be bringing them in by the bushels with it.I got a new crappie rig too,sold the toon after spending 275 in gas in a weekend with no help from the people that wanted to boat ride and bought a little green 16 ft lund with a 90 on it.I think it will run down a crappie or two.....

Nice crappie boat. I bought a Tracker Pro Team 170 TX because I was a die-hard bass fisherman but have recently found that living in this area there are other fishies in the water... Like crappie, catfish, strippers, trout, crappie and to finish it off...crappie. I definitely would love to have something like that, gives you the ability to fish for all of those. But, I am still convincing the wife I need two boats to do all I want to do. Maybe she will buy it, we will see. Either way, great setup on that boat looks like a lot of fun to fish.

Tight lines,
Brian

Thought I would bring this thread back up to the front. There are a number of new guys on here that have never seen the world's largest crappie fishing boat!!
