I LIKE these if I could buy a new or slightly used. Esp the offshore models
With forward windshield design and Big Windsheild you stay dry, plus they have full canvas cabin option and some have heaters. Big Walleye/Sturgeon Boats - there are several kick azz brands.

Man I hate shopping for used boats. Too many choices and options.

It was Easier for me - I only had $3000 and Bad credit and knew I wanted a Big Deep V Aluminum (from fishing in few TFFrs 17' Deep Vs) so I just kept watching Craigs List - Ad popped up on DFW CL but boat was in Ardmore Ok and been in dry storage for 3 yrs - no phone number in Ad - I emailed every half hour - 18 times total - saying I'd take it for 3K and I hadn't even seen it - LOL.

These seem nice - Lewisville Bobby guided out of one -the rear deck on 18" flips up for more floor space and jumper seats- doesn't look like 20' deck does unless its an option? -I like the 20' but I like the American Anglers better. Pretty sure Tracker has full canvas cabin option also.

What kind of boat have you had?

I am undecided between a 22' CC or a nice deep V aluminum. I guess it just depends on which one I find the best deal on. I have seen the guts on a Tracker and have no desire to own one of those. I previously had an Lowe 18.5' flatbottom w/ a 90 HP.

This is my dream boat. Polar kraft center console deep v.

I sure have enjoyed this one so far, not a big boat in length but plenty of room on the inside and it's a perfect boat for the lake I primarily fish

That's the boat I have just love this thing. They build them one at a time haven,t found anything I can't do with it yet, but I don't run in shallow water very often

Same here. I want a glass boat for the smooth ride, but I like the layout of a dual console aluminum boat like the alumaweld or American anglers. Another thing is live well space. With a big open dual console, it leaves plenty of room to add a removable live well for tournaments. With most glass CC's, the front and rear decks take up most of the room and usually only have a 30 gallon live well. I've been looking at the Dusky 218. It's a nice simple layout with lots of room and an offshore bracket

Most of the CCs I have looked at have a livewell and a bait well. You can also use the cooler under the leaning post as another livewell. I have found some nice Lunds on walleyecentral's classifieds, but I really don't want to drive across the US to look at a boat before I buy it.

If I win the lottery....Hydrasport 53 Suenos

I think one of the fellars on here got one of these 2 yrs ago and loved it. 100 gallon live well.

That's my buddy Brandon. He likes it, but it does have some flaws.
I see they came out with a 20 footer for this year

I like the bait well with round corners.
