I have talked to a couple of you guys via pm and thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. This is my first boat and I am having a horrible time deciding which one to go with and some options on one of them. Any help in this to get me over the fence would be awesome. I don't want to buy one and wish I got the other or buy the bigger boat and say wish I got the smaller one. I have been tossing this around for 2-weeks. I have a garage that the 1880 will fit better in when I want to keep it at home, but I also have a storage unit I can keep either one at with no problem. I'm looking at the 1880 and 1980. The 1880 is big enough now for what I have for fishing gear, which is not much. The tm is only available in a 45" so that is no problem. I'm not a speed freak at all, but I ask myself is the 115 Pro XS big enough. On the 1980 I'm tossed between the 45" or 52" tm. Single or tandem. The 150 Pro XS I know will be fine.
The lakes with in 2-hours of my house that I would go to 75% of the time are no wake lakes. There is 8 lakes. There is Red Rock lake, Rathburn lake and lake Okoboji that are big lakes for our area that are ones I would visit. These are 3-1/2 hours from my house. The other lake I would probably go to is Mozingo lake in MO. and that has a 40 mph speed limit on it. It is 2-1/2 hours from me. Red Rock, Rathburn, Okoboji and Mozingo lakes I would probably only visit 3-4 times a year.
I know I'm probably looking into this way to hard, and being the first boat is probably some of it as well.
