Looking for new/used bass boat

[garyw]

I was asked the other day what i liked and disliked about mine. this was my answer

i don't like  the location of the kill switch. It's on the left making the lanyard interfere with driving. I'm probably going to move it.

i would have upgraded the seats from the base, but I'm a large guy and the seats seem a little wimpy for me.

I really like the crappie option. it give you three locations for the front seat. 

storage is great for me but I don't carry a lot

i have a 7 in Humminbird at the console it fits great, a bigger one???

i have the fold down deck in the back, it's nice, makes a large area for the back deck for the fisherman.

I have a 115 Evinrude  E-tec with a 4 blade 14 1/2 x 17 prop and get about 36-38 at around 5800 rpm

i went with the 1775 to keep the price down and a used OB. a 2007 with 200 hrs

overall i'm very happy with my 2018 1775 impact sport.

Thanks again for all the tips. After testing a couple of boats, I've decided to go back to having a windshield and not a console. Wife had a vote on this too .  Still looking at aluminum, but now considering the Lund Impact 1875, G3 Angler V18 or 19, or Ranger VX1888. Not many choices for new or used, so might not find anything till spring.

My wife and I spent about 2 years looking for the perfect boat to have at table rock as we get older. ( I kept our last boat 16 years. ) We went with the Ranger 190LS. It's a multipurpose boat that checked more boxes for us than any other boat. We've had it a year now and while it's not the perfect bass boat, it's a very good all around boat.

Boy I've sure appreciated the help on this topic. After visiting many dealers and going crazy looking at different options I think I'm narrowing it down to either the Triton Allure 186 (fiberglass) or the G3 Angler V-18 or V-19 (aluminum). Anyone have any experience with either of these boats? I also am having a heck of a time even finding one to look at. (other than online). Again, any help or input appreciated.
