    Default Hmmm,.........boats.


    I've been getting boat prices the last couple days. So far so good price wise,now I need to figure out which one. Here are what I've been looking at so far.

    Alumacraft Classic 165 CS
    Polar Kraft Kodiak 165 SC
    Lowe Stinger 17 HP

    The Lowe isn't real accomodating for 4 people,but otherwise a great looking machine. The other 2 are pretty similar,and both are better suited to 3 or 4 on board at a time. Anyone here fishing out of any of these models?

    I like the Alumacraft, but have not seen the others.

    I wouldn't want to have 4 in a boat less than 20'. I have an 18' PolarKraft, very solid built boat.

    I have a Polar Kraft Kodiak 168SC and love it. It can fish 3 with a dog easily. Never tried four.

    I fish a 06 lowe 180 stinger with a 115 and love it for crappie fishing. It has front and rear wells and a huge front deck. I'm a very big man and me and a partner can both fish side by side with no problem.

    Good luck

    That Alumacraft 165 has one HUGE front livewell. I looked side by side at that and the comparable boat from Lowe... I like the Al, but the rivets make me nervous.
