I just can't seem to decide on a boat. I picked this boat up yesterday and really like it. Going to move my rod holders over
to this one and give it a try. Any thoughts? Never had a Triton but engine runs good and boat rides smooth. Boat is a TR 19
with a 175 Evinrude.

Pretty boat, but you'll look like a green carp fisherman till you get some rod holders on it.
Good looking boat, that is about what I want one of these days. I personally like the bass boat layout better than the deep v boats and other types of boats. Plenty of room, storage, sit low to the water, and they handle well in the wind. They are also versital and can be used for different types of fishing and different techniques.
Rigged up right that boat will make one fine fishing machine. You will enjoy it for many years to come
You in the boat businesses?? LOL
That is a good looking boat Andy. I'm sure you will like the setup that you can make on that boat. Hope you like it once on the water. I'm sure that one will get to where you want to fish very fast. If you see a guy with their finger in the air as you pass it's just me :Rofl
Yea....what he said.:dono:biggrin Nice looking ride. Looks practically new. Congrats.:)Quote:

Probably gonna need MORE MONEY to pay that gas bill too.:):):)
Thanks guys. Looking forward to getting my rod holders put on. A graph and i-pilot TM will be in the near future too.
I think bass boats make excellent crappie rigs, low to the water, stable, and fast when you need them to be. The only problem I see with your boat is the duel console. I have one as well, and will tell you that finding a place to put your long rods while in transit is a problem. I lay my in the middle, but it makes for tight quarters when someone is with you until you get the rods in the racks. Good looking boat though, congrats.
The dual consoles are a blessing and a curse. When you are ripping across the lake on a cold day, your partner will like hiding behind the console, but like Ink said hard to find a place to lay the rods. That us a nice looking rig and I know you will enjoy it. One of my buddies, Jeff, has a Stratos with dual consoles and I really like the layout. Have fun rigging it out.
I had a 285 Stratos Pro Elite with a 150 FastStike and is was just fine.....except for gas mileage. I used to chase those fish that some refer to as green carp and I did pretty good job of doing it. That kind of fishing just gets too expensive, I put in at Shull and drove to Camp Barstow and back and burned 3/4 of a tank out of a 41 gallon tank. $$$$$$$$:banghead.
Now I share a 1850 Duracraft bay center console with my wife it has a 50 four stroke and the gas mileage is totally awesome. If I can convince her to allow me to buy another boat it will be a aluminum Ranger with a 70 Yamaha four stroke or some thing very similar, maybe even a Bass Tracker with a four stroke.
One thing about the dual console is that it will keep a passenger warmer, drier and safer during a haul. Mine was a single and it scared the pee pee out of some of my passengers. :yikes
Nice boat! If I am going to have a dual console, I want a windshell. If not I like the single console for room.
