After fishing with Obifishkenobi and 2nots in their boats, my 16' Lowe 40 hr. motor and 25 mph top speed seems way inadequate. Well, I do love it for Utah Lake and would have a hard time selling it. I'm thinking I need two boats. Lol
Every boat is a compromise. I really liked my Alumacraft, it was a step up from my old Crestliner Fish Hawk. But I bought that boat used for $5K, and it was long ago. Caught a lot of fish in the Alumacraft. I had a paper graph in the back and an X85 on the bow mount up front. Now, though, I like having a Bimini. We're up on WB now, trolling cranks off planer boards.
You just have to decide where and how you want to fish. I could use a bigger boat in the ocean, but you just need to choose you days. For Utah and how I fish, it's about ideal for me. Two boats is a great idea.
Single main, no kicker.
