Okay all,
I'm really hoping for some opinions here. You've all helped a lot so far.
I've narrowed my search to a Targa 17 Combo (125HP) and a Sugar Sand Mirage. I know they are COMPLETE opposites but what I wanted to do was pick the best FISHING/SKI boat and the best SKI/FISHING boat I could find and compare the compromises. I am limited to towing less than 2000 lbs and this really made the SKI/FISH oriented boat search narrow!
I want to know what people think about the riveted nature of the Targa 17 Combo. Am I in for trouble with this setup? I am about 90% certain I will like the T17C better than the Sugar Sand however I am still worried about the fact that it is not all welded. Were it all welded I would probably have posted that I put in an order already! I just need opinions and experiences.
The sugar sand is a smaller boat, has no trolling motor, (not sure if one can be mounted and if not it is out of consideration) and only a little bit faster. You can see a review of it at http://www.boattest.com under the boat test section. I'm sure you're all biased towards the tracker as am I, but the SS looks like a lot of fun. But what are your opinions? I am 24 by the way, and only begining to get back into fishing. College killed that!
