What's Your Perfect Boat?

[TX_Kevin]

Clearly the perfect boat is different for each of us. For me it's my 22i Class with a 250 SHO, and an Ultrex with iPilot Link, and Helix 10 SI Megas at the trolling motor and at the console. No poles needed.

none...$1000+ each time it breaks down.

A buddies boat is best

Maybe?

And we have a winner!

This x1000. I've fished on a lot of high dollar boats and nothing beats a good all weld! I want a 14-15' one with the biggest motor possible. Scoot right on out in the bay, bayou, intracoastal.

This is why no matter what I hang onto my cajun special. Have had a few thoughts of straying from it. But it is literally IMO the perfect 2-3 person rig for inshore, lakes, and rivers.

17.5x60, Mod V, 70hp with jack plate. Can go anywhere, 40+mph. Run in about 6", pole through about 4". Can't even tell you are towing it behind the truck, fits in the garage. And been paid for since 1998!

That's the boat that looks like it came out of a Yellowfin mold right?

that's what people say but I was there the whole time he was building all his molds start to finish. John is a great guy and super talented.

I've got the boat fever, and Im bringing the boss around to the idea, but not exactly sure what I want. I'm not a fishing purist, so I need something versatile enough to bass fish occasionally, but run juglines out of too. Ive got a 16/50 Xpress but looking to upsize some to an 18 foot or bigger. I like the Xpress boats but I have also seen a couple of the Tracker aluminum boats that I like. What is your ideal rig? Post pics if youve got 'em.

I have an old (1984) Empire hull, 17 footer, with a 150 motor. I love it.

BUT, if I had to buy a new one right now it would be the Xpress shallow water or bay series. I have ridden and operated a few of these and they are very well built. For what you need I would go with Xpress.

Here is mine on the water. Bare bones but tough, that's what I need.

I really enjoy my Ranger Riata Fish & Ski with a 150 Yamaha and 55lb trolling motor. I use it to fish for bass, chase crappie, and run jugs. Then when the day gets really hot, we ski or tube until the sand bass start schooling.
It doesn't do anything as well as a boat made specifically for that purpose, but it does everything just fine. And I like to do everything.
I bought it when it was 10 yrs old for $12k.
However, I'm thinking about trading it in for that tub with the 14 nekkid ladies.

I don't have a need for 2 motors. But this is a very versatile boat. If I ever have 40K I'll buy it lol.

This is obviously a trick question......there is not (1) perfect boat.....
Everybody should own a fleet, each one specific for different applications....
