Hello.
Here’s the rundown: My wife and I purchased a 2017 Ranger RT178 new in 2017. It was selected on the premise of a great ride and that my wife would be fishing with me 90% of the time +/-. Actual results – 10% of the time. So I have been fishing solo and the boat is great – with one exception.
Since I fish mainly solo – I do more trolling than anything else; mainly on 3500 acre lakes. It has proven to be a challenge trolling with the ranger – since its intended design was not for trolling. So, that leads me to this: we are considering selling our boat and purchasing an Alumacraft Competitor 165 tiller.
Looking for insights and suggestions.
Thanks –
