    What would would you choose?

    If I were to pick out of all the boats and their sizes, sonars, trolling motors, and outboard engines, I would pick a 21 foot triton, the garmin trolling motor and having a Minn Kota fortrex as a spare, garmin sonars, and having a mercury pro xs (not the four stroke). What would you choose? I'm not judging, but curious

    Good question Owen. If I were picking a boat for the places I fish I think a Ranger Z518 or BassCat Pantera 2 would be the boat I’d go with. 200 Mercury Pro XS. Probably Humminbird and Garmin units at bow and console and Ultrex trolling motor. Top it off with either Power Poles or the new Minn Kota Raptors

    Once i get rid of my creaking Fortrex and replace it with a Ghost which is highly likely this winter, I have my dream boat and setup. Its perfect for where and how I fish

    I 2nd the BassCat Pantera with the 200 ProXS. The Fortrex will work for me with dual power poles and Huminbird electronics. All of this on a tandem galvanized trailer.

    I’m a Bullet guy and a 21 with a 300r. If not Bullet then a Ballistic. Bird electronics and a Ghost troller. The Garmin stuff would be a good choice also or add on.
