    Here is a video of the boat I had built. Many good brands out there but don’t overlook mom and pop boat builders. This boat has a .125 hull and if you want they make one with a .190 hull. It literally is built like a tank. You’re gonna get wet at speed...no way around that. If you don’t have a suspension seat up front it will kill your back running down the lake at speed. Had I not installed the suspension seat I would have sold it in less than a month. Now it rides great. I probably won’t buy another boat but if I did I would still get a stick....it would be 18 feet long with a 70 or 72 inch bottom.

    I had an older ranger tri hull with stick steering. Had a seat in the front and one in the back livewell in the middle. Great boat to fish out of. Only down side was sitting in the front made for a rough ride on windy days.

    It does.....I tried to get them to build it without it but they wouldn’t do it.

    I have a 17’ Xpress and really like it. The Xpress has a v hull so the ride is pretty good as long as the wind is not to bad. The old flat bottom stick steer is bad rough.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
