Thumbs up Re: Walkarounds

I own a 07 Trophy Pro 1902 WA.....I love this boat...it's perfect for my needs.
I have no intention of a overnighter but the cabin is good for the kids to play and with a high windshield and full enclosure my crew and I are keep high and dry! 3 people tops are far as fishing is concerned. Now is a great time to get a leftover trophy cause they are selling them at a very discounted price. They are now made by Brunswick and the boat planes easy and ride soft and dry!

Good luck!

Ken

The best amenities in those smaller WA come in at 26' plus. Look at a few boats Seaswirl & Salifish very nice layouts for their size. I'm looking and have been for several months ,now my big express is sold ,these two impressed me the most for my needs which would be spending some nights comfortably on board and fast runs to the grounds. Also 29' coastal by Wellcraft ,however w/A feature on this boat very narrow,but a very decent riding hull. Nothings perfect these stood out .
I've owned a dozen boats big & small so I looked & copmared from expierance.

In general, if you are looking at ourboard boats, you are going to get a lot more fishing space on an X foot center console then you would on the same size walk around cuddy.

However, not all 25 foot boats are created equal. Many boats built today have the European Swim Platforms and Bow Pultpits molded into the hull and include them in their advertised lenghts. I've been on a few 25s that feel like 21s and 21s that feel like 25s...

Do your homework for sure..... You should consider going to the http://www.jerseyboatexpo.com/ They will have new and used boats on hand and seeing them all in the same place will help you narrow down your search.

I have a 23 foot hydro sport with the engine on a bracket which gives you a little more boat.I rarely use the front only when anchoring,but there is enough room to walk around it.The cabin has a v birth and small sink,but I only use it for storage of my tackle.I dont think I would go any smaller
