Thread: Eye balling newer boat

They all look good.

I have a Lowe Stinger 195 with 115 four stroke. 84" beam........ I have owned very few boats, mostly old flatbottoms that I rebuilt the deck, etc.........but I had one Sea Ark alum with 60 hp and now this one. I can't imagine any boat being better than the Lowe. I do like Triton, just from the looks, though. Only think I liked about the Sea Ark crappie model was that the integrated minnow livewell was raised.......course to feed it, it had to have a good water pump, and it didn't, it burned up after 3 months........... I have no problems with my Lowe, other than the 6 degree hull is still basically a flatbottom.........and all of them are not great in rough water. But you have to compromise somewhere. If there is a better invention than a four stroke motor, I don't know what it is. Not as fast (like I care), but quiet (can talk to anyone in boat at full speed) and no oil mixing, and runs all day on a gallon of gas.

My two cents. Probably worth less.

That Excel was very very very quiet on the test run, a little slow, but quiet.

No doubt about your vote, and for a very good reason. You know I love it. PREDATOR!!!

Where is the new boat???????

Went to the local metropolis near here and ran across this little cream puff. Which one of you owns this? It could be a lurker, but I could definitely smell crappie slime on it.

I don't know but I looked at it Friday and think its a sweet ride !! little bit salty for 06 I thought ...but sure is in good shape. been kept inside for sure .

You need to turn loose of the bucks and own it. After all, it's just money and you can't take it with you. Motor is an 02 with 62 hours. It is a "dab" high. Love the trailer. It is a dandy. I wonder who owns it? Maybe they are quitting fishing and would give away their good fishing holes.
