boat size? - the_agent - 03-09-2007 what size boats are you guys running at mead? I hear the wind can kick up so I am considering a 22 ft center console. Hopefully I the seller will accept my offer. [] [signature] Re: [the_agent] boat size? - stripercraze - 03-10-2007 That should do the trick. My boat is a 17.5 ft. It is ok most of the time. But when the wind picks up to over 20 mph it becomes a wet and wild ride. But then it is pretty hard to fish anyway. hope to see you out on the lake. Stripercraze [signature] Re: [the_agent] boat size? - BaySport - 03-10-2007 I really enjoy my center console. It has performed excellent on Lake Mead. [inline "fishing 056.jpg"] At nineteen feet, powered by a Merc 135 Optimax two stroke engine, two live wells, and a 75lb thrust Motorguide wireless trolling motor, sonar, VHF radio, it is a fishing machine. While bass boats, poontoon boats, and ski boats rigged for fishing work well for a lot of folks, I prefer a center console.

[signature] Re: [2nakiller] boat size? - BaySport - 03-15-2007 Nice boat! Equally at home in saltwater and freshwater. Here's a picture of my brother's center console. [inline "2006 - Utah 251.jpg"] No mistaking what these deep-v, aluminum center consoles were designed for! Picture taken on Flaming Gorge, Utah, working hard to catch big lakers last summer.

Thanks for the info. Ah deep v cc is their anyother choice. [reply] [reply] I was reasearching and I am wondering if Mead is a carb lake?[/reply] CARB as in California Air Resources Board?
