My ride 2010 ProGuide, 175 opti tiller with the Mertin steering, 9.9 ProKicker, Minkota auto steer in bow, Lowerance 110 at back and a Vexlar in the bow. I would get same boat with a roller trailer instead of bunks.
This boat is drier than my old 1800 Pro V but I keep the Guide Wear handy when the big waves come up.

Default another Alumacraft Classic 165

My 2010 Alumacraft Classic 165, Yamaha 50hp, 24v Terrova set up is not the biggest boat I have owned. Is not glass. Doesn't go over 50, er I mean 40, um, oh yea, barely 30....

But it fishes awesome. I can launch it in a puddle. I don't fish tourney's so I can go out on Green Bay, Lake Michigan etc when conditions are appropriate. I can EASILY push it around in the garage. I love towing it. Oh, yea, did I mention it fishes awesome :-)

Lots of nice boats being listed - I personally think the layout and fishability, along with the economy and user friendliness of this size boat is pretty ideal. Would love a Ranger 618 tiller - but don't want to pay for one, tow it, or push it around in the garage....

New 1725 Pro Guide/115 optimax...Just bought it this winter so i didnt try it out yet.Wish it had the bait well up front like its big brothers, the front deck seems a little too high.Also wish it was a little longer (1775) other than that i think it will be great.They sould have went 1675 Pro Guide,1775,1875 then 2010,just my opinion.

Default Something old/somethin' new

My dream boat came about 2 seasons ago when i found an ol' Ranger 680T that needed some good ol'TLC. After a full winter of hard work it came out of the garage in splendid form and has been an incredible fishin'buddy since. When paired with a new Yammie F70, a 4"setback plate, a silvrado SS... it performs better than many (most) newer boats. The financial sacrifice has been older sonar/gps units. Older 24v minn kota front and 12V rear. What's missing is a Titan tiller assist not available for this outboard.
Truly a multi species masterpiece.
Cheers... j

I run a 1785 Yar Craft. Great boat, awsome ride, handles big water like the big guys but fits in my garage, trails easy, gets in shallow water, is set up for the serious angler. As far as changes, I just bought a 1785 dual counsol for the family. Have only had it out twice, but I think I"m going to miss my tiller. The new boat is the same hull and very nice. If you haven't ridden in one you should. Also I ahd a kicker on my tiller which is uncommon, but was great for pulling cranks.

Great news for this maufacturer in Minnesota, one of the best built glass tiller boats on the market today. The newly designed boat has a very user friendly fit and finish that any fisherman would love.
Good luck on the lakes this everyone!!!

I've had a Pro V 1660 with 75 Merc 2 stroke, a Pro Angler 16 with 75 hp Honda and now have an 1825 Pro Guide with 90 hp Honda EFI (Traxxis 80# transom).
the latest is the best and I have no plans to upgrade.

Current rig is a 2008 Lund 1825 Pro Guide with an F90, 80# 3x Vector transom, 70# Power Drive bow, and LCX-27 front and LCX-37 rear. Really like the rig, however, the number of times I need to tighten the floor and deck screws throughout the season concerns me; I did not have this problem with my previous boat, a 1999 Tournament Pro 170 Alumacraft. My next rig will probably be a 618T or 620T Ranger, but that will not be in the near future...

Default Warrior 1890 BT

I bought my current boat 4 yrs back, and with any luck, it WILL be my last boat. Could'a saved myself a huge chunk of money if I'd bought the Warrior first. jerr
