tournament boat?

Maybe a Hewescraft

If you are looking for open cockpit, the Stratos 385XF has it is spades! Wide open, HUGE livewell, great fishability. Right in your price range brand new, even some bells and whistles thrown in.......

check out skeeter dealers for demo boats I found a 2012 wx2100 with less than 3 hours on it and paid about the same as a 2010 that I was looking at around $45000

found good prices on skeeters but the dealers are forever away. lund is about an hour but they dont have anything in stock ever. the place i got my last boat is also a stratos dealer about 3 hours away. can that 386xf handle the great lakes? out board options we only have honda and yamaha here, want evenrude or merc but those are hours away to service. any problems with the big honda's? have a 50hp honda on my boat now and it is awesome

Up that way yous might as well figure on going to Green Bay for service,..

Is there even a marine repair shop anywhere near Esky??

Lol no its pretty shocking with all the fishing up here but we have nothing. Green bay is about 2 hours and all I know of is a small ranger dealer that don't have much in stock from the sounds of it. Want to get in some diff options and buy one by next summer so I have it for when the mwc championship comes here next fall. Worst case I can still run my boat but its time to get a glass boat up here. Sick of pounding.
