I came across my style fishing boat and decided to would look better at my house.
Here is the low down on the boat. It's an older walleye tournament boat. I wish it had a 125hp on it but that can be put on later. Should be a Long Line, Crank Pulling & Spider Rigging Machine.
20' Ranger Fisherman 690T
70" Beam
2 Livewells
1 Baitwell
Things I plan on doing to it.
36V 101 I-Pilot
HD 998
New Carpet
Hi-Tek Rod Holders
Will have some pic.s up in a little while.
Congrats!!
Now get with the pics
Hey brad. From my experience you will be much better off going with an 80 pound terrova. You gotta have 3 batteries for the 101. So y not add another and run the 80 off 4. it would probably almost double your run time. You will have plenty of room for em.
Way to go Brad, can't wait to see the pics.
He just sent em so I could post em up for him. NICE BOAT Bud
They coming up Triton.
I'm wanting a lil more power for this TANK. That is Y I'm Going with the 101.
Might have room for 6 batteries. LOL
Plenty of room to rig it the way you want it. Holler if you want some help.
I really like the bowling ally layout!!! Makes it easy to run front to rear, and not wear yer knees out jumpin on the decks!!!!! Is this a tiller, or is the steering way up front?
C&C won a couple of those back in the days when Ranger sponsored Crappiethon. Also have a friend that just bought his second one. He bought one of C&C's the first time. Says it's the best fishin layout he's ever used. I used an Excel last year with a similar layout, and I loved it. Really easy to fish from!!!! Congrats!!!
Ranger boat, Triton Trailer, Gewber Fisherman. I'm so confused!!!!
Way too nice to fish by yourself out of. Come on up to Grenada and let me hitch a ride witchya.

I'll being the duct tape over and a 12 pack. We'll have you rigged up in no time man LOL
Might want to add a keel guard to your list. Either that or some hip boots. Take a look at Hamby's Light Duty. Far superior to Keel Sheild or the other one IMO.

I have been fishing out of the 690's smaller version (the 681) since late last spring and it's just a real pleasure going fishing with that boat. A 10 mph wind (or more) no longer blows me off the water.Thumbs Up (My last boat since '97 was a 16' Caroilina Skiff which I spider rigged and longlined out of.) Congrats on the new ride!:)
Nice, looks like a longliner's dream.
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.
Very nice BC... I like it. That baby got lots of room. No need to rent a hotel room if you go out of town fishing with that boat... Just bring you a sleeping bag! ha
Thanks guys.
I bought this boat to fish with.
I hope it fishes as good as what I've heard about them.
Wannabe what's new with the confused part.

Congrats on the boat, looks like you have alot of room there.
No sir she will stay forsure!!!
