I've been looking at a new Yar-Craft 1785BT, with a 75 Yamaha 4 stroke tiller steer. This boat is a crankbait and jig pulling machine, and very comfortable fishing boat.
It's heavy and not much power, but it's fishing ability and safety, and comfort makes up for it I think.
With the big deep lake's here in the Ozarks, this boat is the cat's meow for pulling planer boards for crappie and walleye.
