What boat would you buy in my situation?
I'm putting this here, not in "Boat", on purpose ... I want input from guys who fish Canada.
Me and my kids have finally outgrown our trusty 16' Sylvan tiller with a 40HP Honda. For the fishing we do (local PA lakes, medium sized rivers, St. Lawrence River, Canada) our dream boat would be something like a Lund ProGuide 1775 or Alumacraft Competitor 175 with a 75-90HP TILLER. Problem is, I can't find a used one within 1,000 miles of my house (been looking for 2 years) and I just can't stomach spending $30k for a new one. But, what I can find all over the place are used 18' side console boats (G3, Lund, Crestliner etc) with 90-150HP motors. Very nice boats, and at good prices, but I really want a tiller and I don't want such a big heavy boat. They use a lot of gas, are heavy to tow and launch, and are cumbersome in smaller water. So, do I settle and buy the larger boat (maybe I'll love it??) .... or do I hold out for the unicorn boat of my dreams? Or, do I drive 2,500 miles to ND or MN where they actually exist? What do you guys think? |
