Anyone fishing or hunting out of an 18 or 20' Lund Alaskan? I'm looking for a new boat to upgrade from my 16' tiller steer and debating between a Sea Arc and an Alaskan. I'm curious how low an Alaskan sits in the water? Or more specifically, how far down is the reach into the water if standing or kneeing in the front or side of the boat?
I mostly catfish on the MO river and we routinely bring in 15-45 lb flat heads and blues. Fish that have to be grabbed by a hand or two to bring into the boat, not just lifted in with the rod. Want to make sure it's not too far of a reach to grab them. Several guys around here run Sea Arc's, so I know they sit low and work well, but I kind of like the V hull shape of the Alaskan if going to fish on a lake and the water gets a little rough. Guessing it might ride smoother than a flat bottom.
Thanks in advance for any info. Pictures always appreciated:)
