    I am going to be in the market for a glass boat. I have a 2003 YarCraft 1895 Storm 2003 with Opti 135 Saltwater tiller. Love the boat, but the shoulder is starting to act up.

    Fish Mille Lacs, Gull about 60% . 18 to maybe 19 footer

    It has to be used with a budget no more than upper 20’s. Which one and why??

    I’d personally want the WX or the 619 if a large amount of your time is spent on Mille Lacs.

    Reata’s are a joy to fish out of, but they aren’t nearly as deep and the back especially sits quite low in the water.

    Not saying a Reata would necessarily be unsafe, I’m not as experienced a boater as many here, but I would feel more comfortable in the other ones.

    Are you mainly walleye fishing?

    A lot of walleye fishing and early panfish from ice out to late June
