| Post subject: | boat size |
Going to be purchasing my first mud boat this summer and have a few questions for the experts here. To be honest I am not real sure what size I need. I know there isn't a one boat does it all but I'm kind of looking for that. Will hunt 3 guys and a dog most of the time, occasionally 4. Sometimes just myself and the dog. I will be hunting terrain from backwaters of the Mississippi to bigger water. I'd like to bow fish and fish out of the rig. I've looked a phowler 18/56 with the hybrid rake as they are the closest one to Minnesota but I'm not opposed to buying from someone down south. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

Your going the right direction. I would say with that load a 1854 ish with at least 21 inch sides and a stage one motor of your choice. |

Go 19 just because your running a decent load hunting. If 19 too big 1854 atleast. You set on motor yet? |

I'm near the twin cities. If you want to ride in mine you can. It's an 1854 with tall sides. |

How wide on the 18/19ft would you go and how tall of sides? I've got a 50hp Honda I'm goona put on it this year and get a mud motor next year, I figure I've gone long enough with out a mudmotor one more year won't hurt,plus momma won't complain as much. Ideally I want this to be a duck boat that I can take fishing. |
