Location: Stevens Point, WI | What would your ideal rig be? A single console, dual console or a full walkthrough windshield?
I'm just curious. |

| Went from a tiller boat to dual console Pro-V (bubble windshields). The only thing I would change, would be going to a full walk-thru windshield for those cold weather/rainy/snowy days running up the River. C-man |

| I have found time to enjoy every full windshield I have ever had. Don't forget the snap-in pneumonia-hole cover. |

Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | Being a BIG man it's all about the ride first and the dryness second. I dearly love what you omitted in the pole and what I consider the best of both worlds, a Center Console. Pleanty of walk around space on both sides and simply slip your butt either way on the seat depending on the weight of the other guy/guys or gear, and life is good. It's either that or carry around four 50# sand bags to even things out.  And by the way, that's Chamook on the electric in his Lund in the picture behind me and my SmokerCraft.

Location: McFarland, WI | If the windshield stays on, I would like the walk-through. I saw a lot of them come loose, break, or glass fall out this summer, so I'll stick with the dual console in a dry boat. Center console sound inviting once boat gets bigger. |

| I switched to the single console Skeeter 1880 this year and love the open layout. Of course there are days I wish I had the full windshield, but I find myself enjoying the more room than wishing I had the windshield. Of course, if you asked my fishing partners which they like better, they might have a different answer.

| I'll take a full windshield.
Pretty sure Capt. Dan only likes the center console because he feels like David Hasslehoff in one of those Baywatch boats. (Now there's a project for Photoshop)...

My head doesn't look that bad on another body. Maybe I'll leave that part to science.

| Walk thru windshield. I am sure it is a sign of age, but I gave up on the sport windshields on previous boat, and absolutely love the protection from wind and waves that the full windshield gives. I do not miss those November or April waves in my rainsuit.
Take care,

Location: in the boat off the east shore somewhere | i love my dual council ,, i think the key to any if you dont get a walk threw is to go with the taller bubbles they dont look as sweet on the boat but having spent half the year in a new 620 dc with the lower class if i could just put the glass from my starcraft on his ranger and talk him into a trade even up i would be IN_LIKE_A_BURGLER! |

| I have no love for you tiller guys!! The first day partner I drew was Gerrick McComsey in the April PWT on the Missouri river out of Camblerlain. It was miserable, cold, and windy and we traveled 44 miles down the river to fish.
It was as far as the boundries allowed. I spent the trip bundled on the floor avoiding water and elements for the 88 mile round trip. Tough on my old beat up body. The 1st day canceled, we fished the 2nd and the 3rd cancelled as well. I will bet that April in Chamberlain is out of future consideration for the PWT.
By the way, Mac is a great guy and if I had to, I would take the trip with him again!
Take care,
Jim O |

| Ha ha, fished a few of those - that's what they make snow suits for. How do you think us Yoopers get "warmed up" for ice fishing |
