Well I sold my boat so I'm on the hunt for a new rig
Requirements:
Boats I've considered:
I over invested in my last boat and it had drawbacks and trade offs that could never be changed so I'm being more careful at looking for something that will work better for me this time.
Cheers
Requirements:
- 7500 lbs or less on the trailer with full fuel, water and gear, food etc
- seating for at least 4 (wife and couple kids)
- cuddy that sleeps 2 not huge adults (smaller cuddy is fine)
- reasonably big fishing deck
- Decent rough water boat with something like a 20 degree deadrise
- something in between a big 22' or a small 26' should be the ticket.
- 2000 or newer hull or the right deal on something relatively updated
- self draining deck a huge plus
- hard top or alaskan cabin a huge plus
- huge preference to newer 4 stroke outboard(s)
- 2008 or new power a huge plus
- pump out ******* a huge plus
- Lowrance HDS gen 2 or newer electronics package with radar. Auto pilot a giant plus
- reasonable trailer
Boats I've considered:
- 23-26 hourston (if I can find a decent one)
- 24' Sea Ray Laguna or 240 SRV Hardtop (if I can find a decent one...)
- Trophy 2359
- Striper 2600 sport cabin
I over invested in my last boat and it had drawbacks and trade offs that could never be changed so I'm being more careful at looking for something that will work better for me this time.
