I'd highly recommend a Lund or any solidly built aluminum V-Hull and trailering to anyone that whats to enjoy a multitude of fishing possibilities; without paying the big bucks. My 1996 1890 ProV cost $15,000 used, but in mint condition, but a new Lund 20 foot Alaskan or something similar, I think could be had for similar money. Gas doesn't eat you alive and that is a big concern as you know. No moring or slip fees (Slipknot

) and the ability to fish for multiple species.

Take my typical year. I'll wind up the year at the Thames chasing stripers and will continue until the ice is out up here. Then I'll concentrate on largemouth, pickeral and my favorite eating fish; crappie. Thanks to FW/BC, I put some nice south cape bluefish and schoolie action between my freshwater and the arrival of fresh stripers up our way. Once the stripers are in, I'll launch in Scituate, Hingham, Boston, Plymouth, all depending on weather-wind-bite. September it's off to Maine for some Smallie action. Come late fall, once the bite has slowed to a crawl, it's back to freshwater and hopefully a late trip up to Maine to chase some late season trophy Smallies.

I'd have nothing but high praise for the versitle aluminum V-hull, can't be beat in my boat.
