I’m trading my PT 18 for a Crestliner2000 Bay. The 2000 Bay will allow me to fish more types of water here in the SE Texas SW Louisiana area. I fish rivers and lakes, but this will make be better equipped to fish the marshes, Galveston Bay.
Probably just as important, getting up and down from the PT 18 drivers seat was killing my knees, so I believe this change will eliminate that problem.
I also decided to max out the motor by changing out the Mercury 115 with a Mercury 150 Pro XS.
So where I was happy with my PT 18, I believe I’ll be happier with my 2000 Bay.
