2001 GIII (sold by Skeeter, but a GIII hull regardless) with 75 hp yamaha. 17.5' single console, laid out like any other bass boat. Only downside I have to my boat is I have seen the exact same boat rated for a 115 and mine is maxed at 75. Great boat, would recommend.

How big of a boat are you looking at? I had an Xpress 1650 this a 50 on it. With the hyperlift hull, it was like a little mini bass boat. I sold it a few years back because I do have a bass boat and needed a hunting boat with a smaller motor because some of the places we hunt have HP restrictions.

14 foot tracker from Bass Pro w/ live well. It is perfect for us. We fish 2 lakes on our farm- don't think I'd go into current with it.

Had a 17' Xpress with the 115 Yamaha 4stroke. No complaints.

Not me, but my FIL has a circa 95 Bass tracker with a 60hp Johnson. Great little fishing boat. However, the hull is just a touch too flat and gets stuck on every stump in the lake, and i mean STUCK. We've spent hours trying to flag down boats to pull us off.

Whatever you get, make sure it has a nice V hull.

Yep. But it's paid for and hasn't given me any problems (yet).
