    Best Combo Bass/Duck Tin Boat combo?

    Lack of fish last two trips has me rethinking life and my decisions.
    Short on years so need to make them count.
    Still able to get around and do all I need to do to fish and hunt.
    I have lots of decoys for ponds and fields but no duck boat for bigger water.
    So I am thinking of picking up one as an add to the team or maybe selling the skeeter and getting a top dollar combo rig.
    So two categories-under and over $25000.
    All comments appreciated.

    I like your rig too! My skeeter dealer handles the g3.
    How many batteries in there? 24v TM?
    How does it handle rougher water?
    Does it stay dry?
    How is fishing from the deck without carpet during summer?
    Do you have tilt/trim or jack plates?
    And I like you boat garage too. Nice.
    I appreciate your input.

    War Eagle Blackhawk 961 looks like a good setup.

    Call Gator Trax and have them build you a boat that will do both. They can do removable decks on the front and rear

    Lowe 1860 S/C or 2070 S/C. Solid built boat for the money. Great seller in my lineup with zero warranty issues for me in the last 10 years. You could go tiller but I would prefer the S/C. Boats are in your price range.

    4 batteries. Motor, 2 trolling, and one for electronics
    Handles ruff water Ok, but it is a tin boat
    All but one of my compartments stay dry.
    Front deck is fine during the summer, but I wear tennis shoes
    Motor has trim but no jackplate. G3 will void the warranty if you put one on.

    Thanks on the garage. Actually built off the barn.

    Thank you, that was many years ago. I’ve had a few boats since and she’s still my fishing partner.
