 Boat Choice!!
I am running dual pro drive 36's and was wanting to know what boat you guys would recommend? I am currently running a 1860 Grizz. I was thinking of getting a X series PD 2060. Any thoughts? Thx

 Re: Boat Choice!!
the 2060 PD boat would be good for your duals....or you could look into having a custom boat builder make you one...either way you will be happier than with the grizzly boat.

 Re: Boat Choice!!
Although i don't have one of them, my vote would be for an Aucion boat. I've seen his boats and thay are sweet. He builds some of the nicest rigs i've seen, and will make it exactly how you want it.

 Re: Boat Choice!!
I've been real happy with my 2054 Brother Breaux. Good all around size. When I had my hull built, Aucoin was hesitant to build a boat that wide. He mostly builds 44"-50" bottoms if I'm not mistaken. I do agree though, he is one of the very best custom builders out there. I really like brother's boats too.
Prodrive has alot of experience building those big wide hulls with good success. If I was running duals, and gonna go the 2060 route, that is who I would use.

 Re: Boat Choice!!
Ifyou got a LL setup put it on a few different rigs before you have one built......if you want to try a 2054 i got one we can put your motors on and take it for a spin......
I got the motor off till next weekend if you got time let me know.
later

 Re: Boat Choice!!
if you are going with a console steer then i would get a boat from pro-drive so they could do all of the rigging, it will be much easier on you to go that route.
