What do you consider to be the best "Do it all" Boat? - Page 3

BananaTom · 11-23-2008, 01:13 PM

I have wondered this very thing for several years. I like a dry / warm / cool boat.

One that can be trailered to my yard, and can take the big waters, while I stay dry and warm or air conditioned. The below is a Parker Extended Cabin. With after market genset and Marine air, I should have everything I want.

dailysaw, does your cat "bottom out" on bigger swells?

dailysaw · 11-23-2008, 09:48 PM

only if you are going slow. and if they are big swells far apart.for the most part you are riding on top of the waveswith very little of the boat in the water.

if you get the chance take a ride in one. i put mine through hell! i mean, if i want to go fish the weather is not going to stop me. just the lightning:banghead

do you have problems with your boat porpising with the trim tabs up? my buddy can not raise his trim tabsout of the water or his boat will begin to porpoise. so he does not get fullmph out of his boat. he has the same set up as you with the 150

Flatspro · 11-23-2008, 10:41 PM

Yes but I can deal with it you have to just feather the tabs and get used to it or go to a four blade prop. And watch the trim on the motor, or just pray for a little chop on the water.
