Color will be white hull with blue/gold accents - like my Ranger.

Opinions wanted.
Me, I like the last one at first glance. The Gambler is ugly.

What do you plan on doing with it? If you are out on Michigan or
something
big, would want the bigger ones. But for hauling around and dropping into
smaller bass lakes like Northern Ontario I would want to keep it in the
18-20' range. And I like right sized power, too much HP is like not
enough
as 2MPH isn't what I would want if going bass fishing, part of the fun is
getting there.
I'm getting out of the "big" water game for a while. Maybe get back
into fishing the amateur bass trail for a few years.

Then you likely want the biggest boat you can comfortably haul on the bass
trail. When you say "big" water game, I am not sure I would use a 20' for
catching 15' whites.


Ever been fishing for bass on the Hudson River or Lake Champlain?

20 foot is a minimum size. :)

Then again, that kind of qualifies as "big water" doesn't it?

Eh - most of the time it will be smaller water, but you gotta be ready
for big water.

Or something like that. :)

Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain;
For we've received orders for to sail for ole England,
But we hope in a short time to see you again.
