  1. wow...those are some nice rigs!  The Pursuits, Aquasports, and Grady White's all have a great reputation for being great quality performance fishing boats....I'm looking for something like the Sea Ray seen above ... I thought Doral once made a nice 21' kinda fishing boat?  So instead of a fishing boat doing double duty as a cruiser I guess I'm looking for a cruiser that can double duty as a solid fishing boat.....love the all the pic's keep them coming.

    It takes two 12v batteries. The saltwater one which we use has two props but overall it's not that bulky. The freshwater one only has one prop but not enough thrust to push anything over 18' or so up to Trout/Salmon and Musky speeds. It handles pretty well in chop, not as good as say, an inboard, but just as well as any outboard kicker.

    so I guess you have three batteries on board?  thanks for the info...

    Works very well for us, just got it last season. We can get about 12 hours out of the batteries without charging them but we like to fire up the main engine every 4-8 hours or so to charge them up. It'll push us from 0.5-10.0mph so great for everything from controlled drifting for Catfish to high-speed Musky trolling.

    I probably should have started a new thread for this one...

     

    0.5 -10.0mph is a amazing range of speeds.  How many batteries does it require and what model do you have?  I've seen a single and a twin.  I was really considering getting one of these last year but was afraid it wouldn't push the boat...does it  work well in the chop and wind?  the lack of engine noise must also be a big plus

  4. Thanks guys...Wellcraft, Aquasport, and Proline are boats I have definitely considered.... really like this Sea Ray Express Divemaster mentioned.  I like the double duty it would be able to do, lots of comfort and style for when I'm not fishing.

    Divemaster how is that Minkota working for you? how long have you had it? How much time out of the batteries? What speed range due get?

  5. Hey Guys,

     

    Looking for some feed back ....I want to get the most stable 21' cuddy around.  Here's why 21' ...easy for towing, fish solo quite a bit, quick enough for tubing/sking with the kids, and easy launch/retrieval.  I don't mind older boats if there is a year/make that stands out and will consider any new boat.  Fish mostly Lake Ontario so needs to be handle the waves as best as possible for a 21'.  Prefer cuddly style as I really like the protection from wind and kids nap there on slow days.

     

    Thanks...
