Thanks for the very informative replies. I swear this has been the windiest year! Skippy, one dealer has a 2009 crestliner, no passenger console. I should look at it. Walkthrough window setup do have their pros and cons. I can see myself getting bruised from the walkthrough window corner.

Wind is just a problem for everyone.

A 17 or 18 ft tin boat for Texoma will be safe on calm days. i had a 18ft lund and it was good only on texoma in
10 miles or less on Texoma. Heavier is better.

Was out in Lewisville today. Winds 12-13 created waves 2-3 ft in the middle of the lake. Too dangerous to stand on a casting deck for sure. Can�t wait for the new boat...

If I didn't have the 24ft cc that I have, Lund would have been my 2nd choice.
Go as big as you can.

Tuffy is a pretty popular walleye boat up north. They're made for big water and those guys that have them swear it's one of the driest rides in big waves.

thanks so much for the replies! looks like ill be going with regular ol aluminum bass boat style. little bigger than what I have now, so ill just have to wait for calm winds.
