Old Ironmaker Posted April 2, 2020 Author Report Posted April 2, 2020 I would love to know how much $$ we have tied up in boats just by members of OFC? A lot. A few of the Rangers here is a cool 1/2 mil.

My rig does 35 maybe, I for one have never got a drop on me out here pounding 4 footers. I can get real small tucked behind my full wind shield. I'll make you a promise because I like you. When I win the Lotto Max over 60 mil I'll buy you your new Bass boat. Let everyone here be witnesses. 1
camillj Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 Can't decide which has given me more pleasure (beauty aka "old faithful" - 35+ years complete with boarding stairs to help my 94 year old mother in-law get in and out) ... or the beast (can't believe she's already almost 8 years ... only got out a couple times last year and this year is looking a little iffy too) The beast ... does have a 300 litre tank ... so I suppose I could self Isolate at sea 2

Erie is probably worse because the rollers launch you when you crest them. Regardless, bassboats aren't for everyone. They have a unique purpose and for those that want it, nothing fishes better. Trolling isn't one of them. Multi-species boats do a lot of things well but give up performance in some areas to accomplish this. No biggie, pick your poison and spend your money where you see fit. 2
Spanky80 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Posted April 2, 2020 My 2019 Princecraft Resorter 160BT, 40 hp Merc 4-stroke tiller, with a Minn Kota Terrova iPilot 80 lb electric on the bow, and Humminbird graphs at the rear and bow. Love the boat so far, lots of room and fantastic fish-ability. The big Terrova with iPilot allows effortless trolling and anchoring. A couple of opening-weekend walleyes and a nice smallmouth caught in front of my place on the Ottawa River. 4

Thats why I went for a Multi Species boat, while I love the look and performance of a bass boat it doesn't do everything I want, far from it! I have a removable rear deck on my 620fs and i've never had a guest complain. And other than top end speed, my FS out performs a bass boat in every way (IMHO).

Say it isn't so! Mine would be a Ranger 620 w/250HO evinrude G2...etc etc... Blacked out would be nice but you want the top of your gunnels to be light in colour as they can get super hot in the sun.

That tree on the right was actually across the stream, we cut it with a folding saw. The work often pays off though (face is blocked cause it's my buddy's fish and I didn't clear it with him). 2
Bill Posted April 5, 2020 Report Posted April 5, 2020 If I was going to buy a bass boat it would be the Allison BasSport Pro Elite. I really like the appearance of this boat.

After watching the Johnston blow up their evinrudes 5 times in one BASS season I wonder if that will literally be the end of them. fished an all black triton down in South Carolina, they get a bit warm, but damn do they look incredible. I’d burn my feet for it lol. you kayakers are a different breed I tell ya! IMHO the most important way a bass boat outperforms any other boat every time is the front deck. Nothing simply can compete with fishing off of the front deck of a bass boat regardless of the brand Edited April 6, 2020 by AKRISONER 1
