I fished out of 2 different Fisherman's for 3 years with Harold Rosson from IL and they are good for spider rigging and cranking. You will need the 101 because that boat is heavy. You will need a Hamby or a step ladder when picking up Bo. As far as the trailer, it probably had a single axle trailer and a double axle makes it pull better. Harold had Ranger build a double axle trailer for his last Fisherman. You will love that up front bait well. You can keep 5 lbs of minners in there for a while.
