Thanks for the advice everyone. Tight lines.

Thanks fishnkamp. So is it true that you will spend more money on towing from place to place. I can't see that because the glass boat is only like 70lbs heavier. Also I've heard that on the water fuel consumption is higher in a glass boat from some reason. Does anyone know on that? I'm still not leaning one way or the other on whether to get a fiberglass or an aluminum. I understand that there a pros and cons with both but it's seeming like now a days they are pretty close.

Right on guys. So with one thing that I've been thinking about to is the maintance of a fiberglass vs aluminum. What is the usual maintance for the fiberglass?

So I know there's the old conversation of fiberglass vs aluminum and I know my question falls right into that. I have been looking at both these boats for a while now and can not decide which to pull the trigger on. I have discovered that a 115hp motor is the best option for me because it is the max horse power for my home lake but it still has enough power for likes like Hartwell and Clarks Hill. Does anyone own or has ever ran either of these boats? Any asvice would be greatly appreciated. This will be my first boat purchase and I am probably over thinking it I know. I want whatever is going to last the longest, be generally simple to maintain, and just be an all around good boat. Thanks.

Thank you very much great advice.

Awesome thank you guys

I have a wilderness systems Atak angling kayak with a ton of wilderness systems accessories. Now I've decided I want to buy a bass boat. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can try to sell my ATAK?

Thanks man

Where did you find it at that price if you don't mind me asking? The humminbird that is. Plus let me know how it works on the yak.

How does the way point marking work on the water. Is it good or something that is just kind of there?

Right on man you racked up there.

That's awesome please keep us in the loop. I am so close to pulling the trigger on the striker 7sv

I see what you're saying there but are some of the small lakes I fish most going to be on there? How can I find out which lakes will be on the software?

I am having the same thoughts with myself but for the same price I could get the Garmin Striker 7 SV with a 7" screen but it has no maps just waypoint markers. I fish from a kayak as well, what is the benefit you get from having the maps?

I have played with the Striker 7 at Cabelas and it looks great the display is crystal clear. Has anyone used it on the water is my question? I fish mostly on a Wilderness Systems Atak and really don't care about the maps very much because most of the small lakes don't have maps anyway. I have also looked at the humminbird helix 5 si and it looks ok but for the same price, I can get a 7" screen with basically the same features. The other until I looked at was the Lowrance Elite 7 TI, it is expensive but it basically is a tablet. It can do a lot of stuff that not many other units can, but to me, the display looks like crap as far as the 2d, down scan and Side. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
