I love my 2015 198P, it's been a great boat so far.
If fishing bigger waters I would get the p (pad) model for a better ride. You will still get some wave splash on windy days, can't avoid it!
Definitely get a spot lock trolling motor, brand of motor is your choice.
I spent over 20 years in glass boats and don't miss it one bit. Very happy with the Ranger!

TM with spot lock is a must!
