Have been looking at bass boats for a month now. All over WA, OR, ID, MT and Nor Cal. They are going quick in the Northwest. My 11 year old son is an avid bass fisherman. We fish Coeur D Alene Lake 3 weeks a year. We have found a 1995 Nitro 180FS that looks to be in good shape. It has Mercury 115 hp. Is this a good starter boat for us? Brother has a 1999 G3 Skeeter 18 footer with a 150hp Yahama and it seem to be a similar style of boat to his, which has been a good boat for his family.
