Hey Scott - When did you get a Pro Crappie?
James - I've had my Pro Crappie for over 2 years with ZERO water lines craking. NOW the 2000 model year seems to have a design issue on drainage of the rear LIVE WELL (under the seat) where the line did not have a constant slope to the drain so it would hold water. Mike L. from NY had his line freeze/crack and had to have it replace under warranty, have not heard that he had a problem after that.
I had mine rerouted (under warranty) with now problems, but I live in Atlanta and keep the boat in my garage. Have not heard of a bait well problem, had mine out in low-mid 30's in January this year with the baitwells loaded with shinners and just pulled the drain plugs before trailering her home (that's another story - 3 weeks old minnows and the maggots that came too).
Next Question James - What Motor and options did you get on the BEST multifishing boat in the world!
