N9BOW Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Looking for a Ski\Fish boat to cruise around the lake shore, visit friends and be able to fish a little.. usage will be 60/40 - pleasure/fish, hence the sport fish combo. Been checking out Ranger Reata, Nitro Sports and Triton SF on FB Market place.. found a few there and figured I'd put a feeler out here. N9BOW Daryk Campbell Sr and grizwilson 1 1
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Yep, your a married man alright.. LOL. kjackson, nomolites, N9BOW and 4 others 7 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Buy a dual console Bass boat, put one of those little Ski poles on the back and tell the wife its a Fish N Ski. You will be much happier and it will hold its value longer. I remember growing up a buddy had a fish n ski and it was horrible to fish out of, no where to put rods or tackle. Wasnt much fun to ski behind either, and rides the same as a normal bass boat
N9BOW Posted February 5, 2023 Author Posted February 5, 2023 Need seating for up to 5 people … albeit not all the time. I know there is a trade off when you do combos.. I’m looking at a Ranger Reata… like the setup.
fishinwrench Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Fish/Ski boats typically have stronger transoms, but they are not robust enough on the bow cap to handle some of today's heavier trolling motors. As long as you stick with old school standard mount trolling motors you'll be fine, but don't haul off and install an Ultrex or a Ghost on one....or it will start breaking loose the first big wave you hit.
