Dad's getting a new boat

[Biglunch]

Looking to upgrade for his 2003 crestliner superhawk 1750. He's thinking of going fiberglass. Pros cons ? This boat is used on LOTW all summer. What to look for what to avoid. Thanks in advance

Look for sparkles the rest will be history.

Budget?

Fiberglass gives a nicer ride in rougher water.

 

[Zogman]

Which corner of LOTW??? Getting to be a lot more glass boats at the NW Angle. Skeeter, Stratos, Ranger, even glass Lunds.

Budget?

50-60 I think

 

[Fishmission]

A lot of nice glass boats in that range and less.. 2015 or 16 next to new used

 

[Migrator Man]

I never really realized how nice glass boats were until I rode over the waves this weekend. I never was to use an aluminum boat again!

Sounds like he might look at a larson. Anyone have one ?

i would get a 270 sportcraft just like all of the guides if only using on lotw

If the budget is 50 to 60 he can do way better than a larson. Larson is heading to a mall near you soon. It;s a mall boat, it just ain't made it there yet.

I went with a good lightly used 621 Ranger with a 300 Verado. Every time I take it out I smile. 4th season and I bet I could sell it for what I paid for it.

 

[Bfishn]

I don't have any experience with Larson, but if your budget is 50-60 you can find some really good used Skeeters, Rangers, Yarcraft etc.. I also think a brand new Skeeter 2060 with everything on it is just over 60.

I like how people refer to certain brands as a "mall boat" but at the last 3 big tournaments I would have bet money that they were giving away a Ranger with every entry fee.

Tracker is a mall boat.
