Slip I'm already looking at bay boats, divorce is final and I can finally be safe to buy and know it's mine. I'm torn between buying a bayboat or a center console like a Key Largo and fitting it out with a trolling motor. If a bay it would be similar to that one listed (never seen it before any feedback or history?), a Scout or something from Champion or Skeeter. I liked the Polar center consoles I saw at last years boat shows, but I don't like the 15 degree deadrise, not even an improvement over my old Lund in the dead rise department anyway. The Scout 240 or 220 bay have a 16 degree, but if I go with a simple open layout like the 210 Key Largo, I get a 17 degree deadrise and it looks like I could retro that to work with a trolling motor.
I might even travel to a southern (NY has one) boat show to see the Scout bay boat, but I'm still on the fence on bay or retro center console. Steve do you really think it feasible, or do you know of people who have set up the Parkers with trolling motors? I'd be very interested in feedback on that, as I love the Parker hulls, but they always looked far to high at the bow to be able to efficiently set up a trolling motor; even a long shaft model.
Tight lines.
