Have you considered any other brands. I purchased a Crestliner and absolutely love it so far. 18'10". The front deck is huge. Storage is good. I replaced the middle console with a third fold down seat since I have 2 boys that fish with me a lot but wish I had kept the center storage. Seats seem to be very solid. Big livewell that came with a bait bucket for live bait when you want to use it. I'm 6'2" and can stretch my legs all the way straight and still have room with the console.

I fish a Crestliner PT20 and couldn't be happier. Storage for day, massive decks, giant live well, and holds its own in rough water.

I purchased a new 2022 Vexus AVX 1880 with 115 hp last August that meets your requirements. It is 18'-10" long, single console, runs 48 mph, and has an Ultrex. But the Crestliner, Xpress, Avid, Ranger are nice. Just personal choice based on your preference and budget. The Vexus AVX 1880 will be at top of your budget.

Requirements are as follows:
1. Aluminum
2. 115 HP
3. 19-20'
4. Upgraded trolling to Ultrex
5. No passenger console

Much appreciated for all the responses. And to the brands not listed, nothing against them, just am new to the bass boat market and was not familiar with some of the brands listed. Ended up going with the the Ranger RT188. .Used 2015 model and feel this will be the perfect rig. 2015 Yamaha SHO 115 with 55 hours, Ultrex on the bow, Garmin UDH 93 SVs at the console and bow, power pole on the back. I am sure there will be the ranger haters out there, but the overall consensus i have seen and heard is they are great boats and will be perfect.

Very nice looking rig! I have a friend with exact boat and he loves it.

Nice rig, congratulations!
I just picked up a 2016 RT188 setup similarly on here last month (- the power pole) & it does all I need it to and more, great boats!

Have you looked at AVID Boats. Saw one recently at a boatshow and was impressed.



Here ya go

Love my vexus.

I have a rt 188 2018 been a great boat and stable. It ain’t no basstracker.
Very well made.

Good looking boat, there may be a bunch of us moving to a rig like that before too long including me. As I've said previously in this post, I've ran aluminum and if it takes getting back into a tin rig to get me fishing as much as I'd like, yes, I'll be in one.

x2! I've looked at them and they are finished out better than Ranger.
