Since I may be advertising this boat here in the classifieds, to give complete disclosure, I did have issues with porpoising when I first took possession of this boat. With a little redistribution of weight and raising the engine one hole, those problems are but a memory. I can still get the bow to bounce, but on MY terms. Meaning if I were to use improper trim angles. Which would be true of any boat really. As they say, all is good now. With this being the only real "problem" I had with her, and it being solved. Case closed.
Honestly, I do enjoy this boat. BUT.... I'd like a boat more geared towards fishing rather than a 50/50 split with a fish-n-ski type that I feel my Trophy is. I'm finding the taller freeboard to be a bit of an issue with my bad back. And, I'd like more interior space. I'd have gone bigger with my current boat but my dealer gave me bogus info on overall lengths and heights. With the folding tongue and correct trailer set up, I could fit the 20' Trophy in my garage with room to spare. Can't fault the boat, just the dealer. I've since found a new dealer that's been taking good care of me and my equipment.
I have Yamaha's for engines. A 150F for the main and a 9.9 kicker. Both 2011 models. These I'd like to keep.... Hence the reason for "just the boat" portion. It's set up with all H-Bird large format graphs and a Terrova out front. Again, all I'd like to just swap over to a new "boat only".
Looking at comparing similar models Alumacraft vs. Lund puts me on an even playing field knowing I'm comparing apples to apples. You might say I'm using those models as a baseline and searching from there.
If you knew me you really wouldn't think this is odd at all. Most of my buddies think I'm a bit off
with the way I go through vehicles and things. I never seem to be 100% satisfied. Must be the engineer in me thinking there's always a better way.
Just ask my girlfriend. Her typical response--->
