I tried to attach a picture of one of the shore lunch spots but got a “you’re blocked” message … Weird? Anyway, it’s just pure rock. The whole lake is that way, no soft shores from what I’ve seen.. We don’t really beach it, but nose up and tie off. Good keel guard would probably do the trick, good point. I’ve had a couple fiber glass Sea Rays in the past so it’s not totally new to me but never on my fishing boats. I’ve always admired Rangers and the newer Lund GLs are awfully nice too. Might have to keep the door open!

I love the glass boats and have drooled over a couple 219GL’s as well as plenty of Ranger 620 and 621s. My concern is that the lakes we fish up north are all rock, big boulders everywhere and not that well charted. We also pull up on big rock islands for shore lunches. I’ve never seen any glass boats at the resort, but dozens of Lunds and Alumacrafts. If I was fishing Michigan, Erie, even Mille Lacs regularly and not messing with that rocky stuff I’d go glass for sure. Not sure if you guys agree with that take though, would love your opinion.

As for the question on the price difference, same price just newer boats in that price range when comparing Pro V to Impact. (2014 vs 2019/2020 typically)

Wow, what a resounding vote for the Pro V! I shouldn’t be surprised, as you’ve all mentioned they are the benchmark. I’ve had a couple Verados, a 2012 225 on a big ol’ 28 foot South Bay tritoon and a 2016 200 on our current tritoon (minivan of the lake but the wife and kids love it!). Absolutely love them, so quiet and excellent torque. My last 20 foot pro V had a 225 Optimax on it, can’t imagine how nice a 300 Verado would be. Appreciate the feedback everyone, looks like I’m on the lookout for a Pro V.
