Glad you was able to sell ur boat ! Hope all works out for ya on the next one ! Hope you find what your looking for at a good price!
You need to come down try out this ranger. You would not be disappointed if it's in your range. It has spider locks and sidekicks already.
What are you looking for and possible price range?
Did you sell it to a c.c member ?

No he wasn't he was a green carp fisherman and he let me keep my spyder loc bases which left some holes in the floor (which saved me40 bucks) but he said he didn't care he wanted to recarpet this winter this winter.
I'm wanting to look at a aluminum bay boat really a Xpress and Excel 20' I've never seen one in person and we don't have a dealer close by so far I've looked at a Ranger, Lowe and Triton my son wants me to get a bay so we can carry it to the beach when we go on vacation to fish around in the gulf. I would like to stay in the low to mid 20's as far as money and have a boat 3 can fish comfortably as far as fishing I just mostly fish for crappie some catfish and bream. If it wasn't for my son I would probably be leaning towards a Xpress 18PFC.
Robbie, you need to look at Lee's Ranger, you wont be sorry.
Let me help you find an Excel dealer in your area. I run an Excel Bay Pro 203 and to me it's the perfect boat for crappie fishing, especially if you troll (longline, pull cranks, or spiderrig). If you want to run mine or fish out of it, get in touch with me.
. It is nice but it's out of my price range Garrett would be tickled with that for sure.Quote:

Only reason that I ruled out glass boats when I bought this one is because the only way I could catch crappie was to tie up under a bridge and fish. I HATE tying up under a bridge and fishing due to the noise, so now that I don't fish that way, I wish I had a glass boat.
I've got to say out of all the aluminum boats the Express has the best ride. You may find a used glass boat for around the same price to. I seen some used bay boats in the price range when I was buying my skeeter last year. I don't know if I will ever go back to a bass boat again, I love my bay boat.

I found a guy that just bought a Xpress H20B bay with a 115 SHO that's going to carry me out on it and I'm going to give Mrdux a call and see if we can work something out so I can out out on his Excel and I sent Big River Marine a message to see what he has in stock might try to take a ride over to Memphis to look at what his got.
You ought to come to crankfest at Enid I know Doug will be their check and see if he is bringing his boat! Probably will be quite a few different boats that you could look at also !

Robbie I would recommend the Bay boat. Good safe ride and you will not get beat up on most fresh water bodies of water. I love my Nautic Star. They are reasonably priced if there is such a thing and very well made. I hope you North Alabama guys do well over there. You better watch ole fur. He will get you in trouble. lol
Fact! Where the heck have you been? It wouldn't hurt you to post every once and a while. I guess you been down at the gulf catching fish.Quote:

Coach, which model is yours? I just looked at their website and those are a heck of a lot better deal than a bass boat.
Check out wedowee marine website. They have themQuote:
