Would really love a 14 to 16 foot aluminum with a 9.9 on it. Just haven't found the right one yet. Anyone have a good recommendation? Polar Kraft?

Great pics, Mike. I forgot about my 14' aluminum skiff that is kept at the family cabin at the lake. Seats 3 comfortable powered by a cheapo 12v trolling motor. Baby boy steering the boat when not catching fish. ![[Linked Image]](http://i66.tinypic.com/2jb0ig1.jpg)

I like my 19’ and is all I need for the lakes here or on the Missouri River reservoirs but with a few back problems now, it’s beginning to fill my hands putting-in and taking-out when I’m alone. The Yamaha V-Max 150 is a 2-stroke (~ 175 hours) and a little reluctant to start right off but once running it’s a power house. It’s a compromise boat but just fine for walleye, Bass, etc., in deplorable country. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/g0ZRsx24/image.jpg)

I've owned various boats most of my adult life - mostly fiberglass bass / walleye / fish & ski types. After going through a divorce in 2005, I went out and bought the one I'd really wanted for a number of years (I justified it by convincing myself I was going through a midlife crisis  ). Now that I'm remarried, the wife is telling me we need a more 'family friendly' boat but my grandsons would disown me if I bought anything else. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/BUknfaO.jpg)

Bwana-, that’s a low-rent pond-skipper if I’ve ever seen one. Probably worth ten times mine..🙂

Big water needs big rigs, I was 1st in the water from dry dock this year...many of the boats around me are 1/2 million a pop, big money and maintenance.

Wife wants to get a Sea Ray (or similar make) deck boat, but when I talk to this guy about it, he says no way. A roomier boat is sounding more appealing as the years go by... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/hgAfxjq.jpg)

I just bought a near new Old Town Discovery Sport 15 along with a never used 5hp outboard. Plan is to hit some hard to access water this fall. ![[Linked Image]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/614Wr-BGkBL._SX425_.jpg) Sweet!!

Wow, that's a beauty. Looks like plenty of room and not a lot of horsepower needed to make it run. I have a tiller 25 Johnson, so very close to the 20 you have there.

Yeah, I’ve not yet anyway, but have had friends fish Erie with our typical-for-here 18’-19’ walleye boats and they’ve saw the need to be very, very careful. So big rigs — yes!
