Check out the foot AlumaCraft competitor 205, very popular style boat. A lot of the high end walleye tournament anglers are going with this boat.

If it was me, I would be scrutinizing the 2090 Warrior and the 620T. The Warrior has the nod in the HP department with a 250, but the layout of the 620T looks a little more user friendly. IMO
The big disadvantage with the ranger is it only hold 32 gals of fuel. Why so small?

Ranger has a poor layout in the tiller in my opinion. A good portion of the left side it livewell and an anchor shaped storage box in the front? Talked to a guy the other day with a new ranger tiller and he said storage was not good.

Just looked at the layout. Damn good layout lots of storage. Just might be a little light for me fishing the sak mostly. Need a heavy glass boat.

One thing I've noticed looking at these tillers, is they all have a pretty narrow beam. The Lund glass and Alumacraft do have 96" but most of the others are only 90". As apposed to the windshield boats that are 100"+

The more i look at these, i think if i was in the market i would be giving the Lund 208 a serious look. Widest Beam, Largest fuel tank, 250hp/56mph!!

To stay dry in the back of a boat, a flared bow is important. Aluminum boats don't have flared bows like some did back in the 50's and early 60's. Another big help is a single big live well near the front of the boat. Use the weight of the LW water to trim the boat as weather conditions change. Big waves or no waves-empty; choppy-half full or more.

My buddy has a Warrior 2090 with a 225. He loves it but his one complaint is that it is tough to get it to troll slow enough when pulling cranks.
