I currently have a Xpress boat but it is getting pretty old. however the Yamaha 2 stroke 115hp is still working great, has new 71lb thrust 24v trolling motor, new speakers/amp and new lowrance GPS/fish finder
My question is, what price range could I get a bay boat 18-19' hull without motor and other items listed above and I just swap over the motor, trolling motor, GPS and everything else? I would like a hull that can be powered by a 115hp and can get out to get specks and come in for redfish/bass fishing. Something like a pathfinder, mako, maybe skeeter...suggest some fiberglass hulls
thanks

I wanted to go with a glass hull. however, an xpress hull may have to be an option due to price

y'all think a 115 would be underpowered for a 18'-19' glass boat?
I see lots of 18' bay boats with 90hp so I would think a 115 would do the trick. it may not run 50mph but I'm sure it could touch 40mph with 2 people

You could get a 25 foot open Mexican panga for $8100 and glass on a floor and console for less than $1500. With that bad boy you could cross the Gulf.

It would be very well powered with your existing motor.

that would be nice, if I had the money. I wasn't planning on buying a boat anytime soon but this one is starting to show it's age pretty good so I'm trying to do this as cheap/reasonable as possible
