My dad and I are beginning the search for a new aluminum, do all, fishing boat and I’m asking for advice. Currently in a 18’ Lowe Roughneck with a Mercury Force 70, so this will be a major upgrade. Looking at boats from 18-20’ with 60-150hp engines. Crappie, Bass, and Bluegill fishing in a wide variety of waters from deep lakes to shallow creek arms off the Ohio River. We only get to fish a few times a month so longevity of the motor is crucial. I am open to any and all suggestions including brands, motors, and must have options. Would like to keep it under 30k but less is always better.
Top 5 in no particular order are:
Ranger
Tracker
G3
Crestliner
Lowe Stinger
