Thank you all for the advice. I am now really excited about possibly getting this boat. You guys are the best.

I I have the opportunity to get this exact boat. It is not my preferred color. I like how the white looks, but I'm worried about keeping it clean. I have never owned a boat. How big of a headache will keeping this boat clean be? I fish a lot of clear lakes, but I also fish some stained water. Are the scum lines so hard to get off that it isn't worth a boat this color?

I have looked at that one and i would say its still on the short list. I just really like big bass-style casting deck though. that's the only hang up for me

Wow that is another good option, I will be looking into that one. Thanks! That is longer than I would expect, my garage might be a bit tight. I might be able to go diagonal with it though. But thank you for all the videos you have made on your boat. I'm a big youtube user and I have really been enjoying your channel. keep up the good work!

Thanks for the advice. I don't plan on getting out there very often, and definitely watching the weather before going out there. I agree a huge glass boat would be best out there, but 95% of the time i fish under 1000 acre lakes. I just can't justify a boat that size.

To be honest I sat in a renegade and while I really liked it, I just worry that I will end up wanting to fish some really big water, like Green Bay. I'm actually looking more into a pro v bass. I have never bought a boat before and I just don't want to make a mistake.

Already watched all of his youtube videos/subscribed to his channel. He is one of the main reasons i want that boat!

I'm looking at pulling the trigger on a lund 1875 pro v bass. Does anyone on here have any thoughts on this boat? How does a 150 hp motor push this boat around? And does anyone know specifically how long the boat/motor/trailer is with a swing away tongue? I've got 23 feet of garage to work with. Thanks!

I went with a cheap jet ski trailer and then removed the bunks and built a carpeted plywood deck on it. it was awesome. i would recommend that route.

I'm looking at buying a new aluminum mod v bass boat. I've really narrowed it down to a lund renegade or a ranger rt188. My main question is about the recent quality of ranger boats. Has anyone noticed any decline in quality since ranger is now under new ownership? I like the layout of the ranger better, but I am hesitant to buy from a company that puts their name behind tracker. thank you.

thanks for everyone's replies. So it sounds like a mod-v will be OK as long as it isn't extremely windy and I drive slow.

I'm looking at buying my first fishing boat. I fish a lot of smaller lakes that have good boat launches, but also get out on some mid-sized lakes (roughly 4,000 acres) occasionally. I like to fish for bass, panfish and walleye. I'm looking for the opinion of guys that have owned aluminum mod-v boats and traditional v-hull boats. Specifically, I'm looking at either a lund renegade or a lund rebel or impact. Right now I'm leaning towards a lund renegade. Has anyone gone to a mod-v hull and regretted the switch? I know mod-v hulls aren't the best in huge waves, but how do they handle on an average wind day on a mid-size lake? thank you.

Thanks for your input. If it pairs well with a 5 inch senko I'm sure it'll work well with moderate size tubes as well.

That's awesome to hear. I have no experience with g loomis at all. I live in wisconsin just a couple hours from St. Croix HQ, so I have only really used their rods. I'm hoping that a MH g loomis is kind of like a M St. Croix. Ive heard St. Croix runs heavier than their ratings. Either way I'm glad to hear you like the 843S for senkos and tube jigs, I was a little worried after I bought one online!

Thanks. I would of rather got an 842, but all they had in stock was an 843. Hopefully I find a use for it. I just wanted to try a conquest more than anything and see what the hype was all about
