Having followed Preston's recent thread on braid fishing line, I realized there is a real brain trust on here that I had not taken advantage of regarding my latest obsession, acquiring a fishing boat specifically for Lake Powell service. We have a 19' tin Bassboat that we love and don't intend to get rid of. But after spending more than 20 days on the water at Powell last year, we realize their is a lot of room for improvements.
We can not justify new, so we are shopping for a used aluminum deep-V boat? We are leaning toward a pre-owned Lund, but are seeing many brands that are appealing.
I was thinking 18-20' in length with a kicker, and good fuel economy.
I have found an older Lund Tyee 1750 pretty reasonable priced in great condition, but not sure if that is enough boat, size wise?
Any way, most of the time it is just my wife and I, but sometimes need room for 3-4 family members to join, so capacity for 5-6 is a goal.
So I would welcome Word-lings suggestions and comments on what you do or don't like about your fishing boat...what you would look for if upgrading...and what size and configuration you feel is best.
I know we all have different opinions and preferences, but I would really be interested in your thoughts and suggestions regarding a Lake Powell Fishing Boat???
What say ye, Word-ling?
