    Lightbulb New Crappie boat design


    We are seriously discussing the idea of designing a new boat made exclusively for Crappie and Bream fishing. Since most boat companies don't really have one we would like some thoughts from you as to what you think would be a must have for the ultimate Crappie boat.

    What about the panfish series from tracker? Are you saying you want a boat to come with like spider rigging already set up? I'm not sure how you can make it crappie/bream specific?

    Add a seat up front is a must, livewells in front and back is a must, baitwell is a must, this is a start

    o.k. my tracker has livewells, a baitwell, trolling motor, fish finder, and more that came standard with it. As far as add-a seat goes no boat company is going to produce the original product because of insurance purposes and that is why the original add a seat was taken off the market. A big lawsuit essentially killed the product but there are alternatives like the one for $79.99 offered by Grizzly Jig. I doubt a boat manufacturer would ever include such a double seat up front because in truth it would only target crappie fishermen/ spider riggers and that is a small percentage of their client base.

    Now if you had enough people petition Tracker I'm sure they might put a double seat on certain models as an option but only if they they think there is a large market for it. You would have to have thousands of interested people though.

    I must be reading this wrong, because Exel, Express, G3, and Lowe make boats with two front seat pedestal bases. These are only the ones that I know about? Add a seat not available, but, other two front seat options are out there.
    Don't outsmart your common sense!

    Lots of interior LED lighting for night fishing would be nice. I could use bumpers on my rig for all the stumps I smack too:D
