Hello all,
I am new to the boat buying scene. I had always used my fathers and now that I am settled in in Cincinnati I need to get a boat of my own.
I want a boat for 2 things. Fishing and recreation. Emphasis on fishing. So far I am looking at the Targa 17 Combo(w/ 125HP favorite so far), Tornament V-18(with 115 or 125)and the 185 either Jet or 90HP outboard.
My question is will I be happy with a compromise boat like the combo or should I just get the boat for the intended purpose and realize I can't have it all? Are there other companies that produce better fish/ski aluminum boats? I really like tracker but the V-17 combo isn't all welded and that sort of scares me.
Next question is, does any one here have the 185 Jet with the 175 Sport Jet? I can't find any information like top speed and the like on it. I actually don't have any idea what I would run in any of these boats. Can anyone help? Thanks and it is great to see so many people helping others!
