Best aluminum boat

[duranautic al]

starcraft if u can find one

A 16" Starcraft, Lund or Sea Nymph with a 20" transom. Power it with at least a 30 hp. These boats are great inshore boats that are versatile and fun to fish out of and very cost effective! Look in craigslist...there are plenty of them.

I've had a Lund for 13 years and I'm happy with it. It's 16 ft with a 30hp. I think a 14 would fly with the same power. I do about 20 knots with a light load. I took it from the river to Coney Island flats one day and burned 3 gallons of fuel

My buddy had a 14' sea nymph and we did everything from the bay to along the beach but the hairiest weather and waves we ran into were up in Champlain in Dec or Ontario.

Can't go wrong with a Lund , they are a quality Aluminum boat and they hold great value on resale !!!!!

I've got a heavily tricked out Mirrocraft ( 1982 Model) Deep Fisherman II. It's on its 3rd engine (25 EFI Merc) and 2nd trailer. I am original owner.

12 gallon tank in bow ( super range and conterbalance my fat a*s), ICOM VHF, Stereo, Garmin plotter, Lowrance FF, 2500gph Rule bilge pump, permanent mounted drain over side cutting board, Fortess Anchor, re-inforced transom, and bow anchor swivel.

Great bay set up. Primarily crabbing. But back bay stripers and oceanside on nice days.

Love it~!

My buddy is a guide up in ontario. He is on alumacraft prostaff and absolutely loves the boat. Has fished many other brands and swears they are head and shoulders above. I found it to be great ride with the hydraulic steer tiller and all.

Have a 14' Legend that I got in Ontario. Manufactured by Starcraft here in the USA, biggest difference is the thickness of the aluminum. It is 1.0 vs .85 that Starcraft uses.
I use it in the two rivers, Sandy Hook Bay and around the hook on calm days.
Readily admit that I preferred my 14' Grumman but alas they are gone out of business.

Overall it is a decent boat

The 14' Grumman I bought last year is over 30 years old and going strong. I guess that says something for for those boats. A fishing buddy of mine has a 20 ft Lund that makes me slightly jealous and I saw a Smokercraft "Big Fish" in a showroom that will be the first thing I buy when I hit the lottery.
