Not in your list but I would look at the G3 Sportsman 17PFX. It is set up for crappie fishing. The Lowe Stinger 175C is another good crappie set up boat. I really like the Stinger 175C....I haven't seen a G3 in person but should have included them in my list....

Are you going to buy used or new? Planning to go new for the warranties but would consider used with low hours.....

AC870 has one that looks pretty sweet from the pics that I've seen. Looks to be really wide. Not sure what brand it is.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Pretty boat here but a good ways from you and I'm not sure how good of a deal this might be.... https://jacksontn.craigslist.org/boa/d/springville-bass-tracker/7130354927.html

Are you going to buy used or new? Planning to go new for the warranties but would consider used with low hours..... If you buy new, I would stick with Ranger, because it's the only one that you won't get raped on resale value. If you buy used, I would look at them all and see what makes you happy. The Bass Trackers are good boats that you can find some really good deals in. I see numerous 2014 and 2015 models for 10 to 12 thousand. The bad part is, they have wood decks. They do have lifetime warranties on the decks, I'm pretty sure, but if you don't keep it garaged, the carpet will turn loose from the wood, and the seats will go bad. I've probably sold 25 Trackers and only 3 that I remember didn't have carpet coming loose in some area.

It’s a Fisher. I’m not sure they make em anymore. This thing is old and more than 7 feet wide.

I think every manufacturer mentioned makes good boats. I did a lot of looking into them last year and wound up buying a used G3, but I bought it just because I happened to find one set up like I wanted at a reasonable price. It has a lot of wood in it, and that adds weight, but from a practical standpoint it hasn't been a big deal. It has vinyl instead of carpet and I much prefer that. Also, all the floors and decks are in panels that are held down with screws that are easily removed if I ever did have a problem or want to change something I added a power pedestal to it and the wood deck made that an easy job. I'm pretty sure the wood deck will last longer than I will.
I have thought of selling it and buying a new one. If I do, I will get either an Xtreme or a Potterbuilt. They are custom made and don't really cost any more than a mass production boat.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Don't get a Lowe. I know 2 guys that both have 2018 models and both of them had to be sent back to the factory for a break in the aluminum where the TM is attached. Same exact spot. Not a cracked weld, a tear in the aluminum.

I know they aren’t very popular here in the south, but I’ve got a 17 1/2’ Polar Kraft that I really like. I’ve never been in an aluminum boat that handles water like this one. They have a one piece bottom, instead of sheets welded together and no wood in them. They also come with a lifetime Hull warranty. My 50 will push this boat at 34 with just me. A 70 (what it’s rated for) will push them in the low to mid 40’s.

Spent the last few weeks researching and looking before pulling the trigger on a Ranger RT188P. On a side note I am amazed at the lack of effort/initiative of some folks that are in the business of selling boats. They don't have to be right now, boats are selling like 10 cent candy. But I agree, it can be aggravating. I spent 20 minutes on hold at two different dealers just to ask about a part.
