[QUOTE="MurphysLAW, post: 112216, member: 2746"] Take a look at the Ranger Reata 1850, great boat that fits the class of boat you are looking for. I have a 05 with Yamaha F150 with 800+hours new lower unit after 600hr of mighty mo sandbar grinding. Great boat it has a hamby keel guard pulled it up on many of a sand bar at varying speeds from Idle to about 30mph:;:smokin also have beached her on sandy gravel lake shore if there isn't rip rap present the glass wont suffer too much. After 7 years of hard use minor gel coat cracking and a few docking nicks here and there all in all love the boat swing tongue trailer is handy when looking.. if you have garage constraints. IMO buy a used boat rigged out how you would want it rams vs scottys, kickers, bowmount, graphs lowrance vs bird, props nothing like sinking a couple grand into rigging a boat how you want it then looking on walleye central and seeing one with 50-150 hrs maybe a few years old with all the bells and whistle for 20-30k less then the showroom model decked out equally that you wont fish crawlers out of or chew seeds and cringe every time you approach the trailer to land on the river or tie up to a dock, go fishing by yourself yada yada. If looking in the 150 class of motor the Yamaha F150 is a classic billy barue always cranks and gets decent mpgs. [/QUOTE]
