My dream boat would be a 180C Parker. Two guys, perfect. Very stable, little hard on the ride but Stability and deep high gunnels. Add a rip tide electric motor up front, man sweet living.

agreed, outside monomoy in the rips I could think of a bunch of better boats for it. Even in nantucket sound, short chop with a SW wind would eat that thing up like it was nothing... |

ok, maybe I'll forget about a bayboat
maybe I'll make a stitch and glue 19 foot center console, only problem is the higher the freeboard, the harder to use a trolling motor upfront. Maybe alluminum is the way to go. I'll keep dreaming and thinking about making plugs and stick to shore fishing.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

If I needed a boat on short money, I'd look for a used 16 ft Whaler. Slow down and it will get you home in anything. You won't be going after tuna or heading to Old Man's in it, but for nearshore bass fishing and easy towing it is hard to beat. Very stable, safe, and cheap to run.

I had a bay boat about the size couple feet shorter, than one you linked, 18ft polar . same layout. good for two people.... thats it.... if you buddy has a buddy that wants to come along it gets tight running around. See how the cooler seat is real close to the CC? thats a problem as well.... standing is uncomfortable unless you spread your feet outside the sides of the console. The back casting platform in theory is a good idea....but id rather have the space to run around when a fish is on.... sounds silly but the 19 ft twin vee baycat i bought 3 months later solved all that. don't have to worry about to high freeboard either, its low.... id recommend checking them out if you are serious about getting a bay boat any time soon.. best ride ive ever had.
old boat.
3 mos later
new boat |
