Thinking about trading my Basscat for a tin (local lakes are all 25hp or idle only/trolling motor) and wanted a "trolling motor down" comparison.
Looking at the Lund 1775, Ranger RT178, or Crestliner vt17. All would have 25hp engine so speed isn't a concern. I'm looking for fishability. Rocking side to side, still able to take out on bigger water. I'd be fishing local team tournies out of it as well so livewell size.
I don't really have the ability to look at anything but the Ranger and it looks like a well built boat. Hoping someone on here can offer some insight on the 3 listed. The Crestliner is by far the lowest price with the Ranger and Lund pretty similar but still 2500-3000 more than the Crestliner.
Thanks
