So I've fished with eight diff peeps on six different boats in five days. I be fishing with co workers , young uns, Cdc members, and old buddies. Heck even a boat salesman:yikes
i fished outa a xpress with a pad running 60 thu chop. Hated it
run thru 25 mph winds in a tin Seaark. Think I'm missing my kidneys and a few teeth
shot docks on a skeeter bay and cruised the lake. Now ya talking !!!!!
had a dealer put a Nautic star bay in. Notta after being on skeeter. No comparison to me..
Actually didn't get on John does ranger in the 25 mph winds but he told me it was tuff.
then finally I drove a ranger 520 Comanche . Whaaaaat??? Cadillac with legroom and deck space. I could actually get up outa seat easily from behind console. Rode like a dream.
oh yea rode in my pardnr s 195 bass tracker. Just don't like it at high speeds in waves.
My head is spinning. Prob seen 300 fish caught during this time.

Top two easily , tho all are great boats. These two just fit me best
That big glass Ranger... Man, oh man.... what a rig.:notworthy
Best of luck with your decision!
The lottery will hafta hit for me. Those big glass rigs cost more than the first house I bought "way back when."
Enjoy the journey!

Knowing how happy those folks are that own the center console ranger bay boats, I would say that your journey isn't quite complete just yet. No stones being thrown at your choices already made, but if you're up into that class of boat, you need to find one of these like Feelay runs and check it out. I have a long term, deep seated love with a 22' bay but I would have to get one with a camper canvas and sleep in it cuz they too pricey for my budget.
Hope you find "The One" you search for. Either of the ones in the pictures would make a good ride for about any conditions and any purpose. Keep us posted.
At least you are beginning to narrow it down a little. Good luck with your search Lee.
Don't rush into this decision Bama! :Rofl
You remind me, of me, except I do it with every purchase over $100.
