  1. An 18' boat also has a single axle trailer. That makes it easier to maneuver the boat & trailer when I'm pushing it into my garage. Also, here in California, the bridge tolls are cheaper for a single axel trailer.

  2. If you are going to fish tournaments with Co-anglers, 18 is too short. If you are going to fish team tournaments you need a 20-21’. If you just solo fish with no partners and rarely other anglers, 18-19 is ok. The short boats rock side to side too much with two active anglers. Plus short boats can be dangerous by getting hooked by the other angler on their back cast. Back in the 1970’s, anglers used 5 1/2 to 6 foot rods. Now everyone uses 7 to 8 foot rods. 8 foot plus 8 foot is 16 feet. There is overlap.

  3. I've had 14" Jon boat, 5.3 Lund Tyee and now G3 17' w/50 hp…G3 has been the most "efficient;" miss some of the space in the Lund, but I tend to take a lot with me…G3 has been easiest to lauch/recover by myself.(of the 2 "big" boats)

  4. Do you have to have a new boat or can you live with a new-used boat? For big water lakes, I think 19.5’ is the minimum, not 18’. We all know boats depreciate like crazy the first year. If the money is the same, should you rather have a new 150 or a 1 year old 200 or 250? If you downsize your boat and motor won’t it affect your fishing style, especially in big $ tournaments? The high school and college boats I see on TV are full size, fully equipped but not new and certainly not $100k since they’re used. What would the “used” boat that you “lost” have cost you to keep? Just sayin’. Good luck in your future derbies.

  5. By myself, i seem to catch the most from a 15'8 alumaweld bass boat, casting decks, with a 50hp. It moved easily with minimum trolling motor input. Fishing with two people in the boat, probably caught most from a Ranger 360v with a 150. No real way to substantiate or quantify those picks, just happens to be that way.
