Fish oblivious, thanks for your input. I know there is no perfect boat, at least not that I am aware of. I was just wondering how some die hard crappie fisherman like them. I think t tops look cool but I would rather go with a Bimini if anything. The permanent t tops would definately catch the wind and make trolling more difficult in a cross wind. Even if I go with a bass boat I will try hard to find one with the non skid marine deck and not the carpet. A few months ago I was really close to ordering a xpress X19 in Camo with the nonskid deck. I have decided to hold off and think about which kind of boat I really want more thoroughly. All of you guys input is really helpful, I have learned a few things from the comments as I have never had a center console. Whatever I decide to get I will let everyone know and post pictures. Thanks again.
