your dream boat

[Conger]

Dad got a boat out of the dump afew years back, and it sat out back for 7 years till I got ant-sy one weekend and put $25 and 5 hours time in and now it floats, dont look to nice but it floats and can handle teh 9.9HP motor on the back. And I got thinking Money aside whatwoudl your perfect fishing boat be?? Size, HP motor, Goodies??

Mine would be a

17foot Aluminum, deep and wide with a 50 HP 4 stroke engine maybe a Merc
Deck on the front 55G Livewell, Nice Huminbird fishfinder (sideimage) GPS Sat
Good Trolling motor on the front somthign in the 55Lbs trust shoudl be OK
with 4 pedistal seats, and some downriggers, even thou I Like DIpsys More.

I think I would want a slightly bigger boat, one that could handle the great lakes in a storm. Lots of downriggers and the best sonar and electronics to find the fish.

Preety much described my boat but I run a bigger motor.
