Hello everyone! This is a great forum you have here. I am looking to get a new boat and I'm having a very difficult time deciding which boat to get. Here's my dilemma: although I really want a boat that is ideal for saltwater fishing - in the rivers and out front - I can't get to the ocean as often as I'd like. I have young children and we have a camp in Northern NH where we go most every weekend from May to October. When we're up there I mostly go to 2 small lakes, both just over 300 acres. We occasionally hit a very large lake. The only time I have to get out to the salt is during the work week... sometimes I might get there once a week, sometimes a few weeks go by without being able to.
So.... I think the best thing for me would be to get a boat that will do a good job for Bass fishing the small lakes but will get me out after stripers and blues as well. I thought I would have this with my current boat (Key West 1520) but I won't take my young son out in the ocean in my rig :wink:
I love the Parker 1801 and I'm wondering how it will work as a freshwater bass rig? Has anyone installed a bow mounted trolling motor on theirs?
I would really appreciate any advice you guys can give me on this. I love Parker boats - my dream boat is a 2120 sport cabin - and I just might get to own one if it will do the job!
Thanks in advance
