| ok guys we are covered up with bass boats down here, im really tired of that scene, my sons getting old enough to start fishing so want something safer, but something fast enough for me when hes not with me,i like the lund pro v from what ive seen online, im sure our rivers arent as rough as your big lakes, but it gets hairy from time to time, so im looking for something that will run atleast 50mph, big enough for 3 to 4 people fishing, no walk through wind shields, and not much draft still try to get into some skinny creeks,thanks |

| A Pro-V would fit Your needs very well. I run an 18' dual console SE with a 175 Opti. Easy to load/unload alone + will fish three confortably. There's alot of great Walleye "Multi-species" available - Ya can't go wrong with a Pro-V. C-man |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | I can see you in the new G3 V210F.......a perfect boat for the conditions you've described. Check one out at www.g3boats.com. My V210F tops out at around 52 mph and has the best layout and the most storage in multi-species boats. Plus, you get the Yamaha 250 four stroke, which is the most reliable motor on the market for 225-250 hp outboards. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | jhef, you might want to look at the Tuffy X190. I believe it is an excellent choice for your needs. Here's the link check it out. Then go to the Tuffy Boats forum and read all about it. I believe TJ has one for sale in the classifieds also.

| do the multi species boat chime walk any, ive seen a few stratos models and the pro v , crestliners that i think look good, i like the layouts plenty of storage with baitwells in the front,im old and fat ont like getting up too much lol, i see that most of the speeds are alot slower then most bass boats with same motors, but the weight of these boats arent much more then most of the bass boats, do they ride different were bass boats ride on a small pad area,?? |

| That g3 thing is huge, not quite your prototypical multispecies boat, unless maybe your going to use it as a barge when your not fishing. I would look into the Tuffy's or Ranger fisherman series boats. |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | The V210F G3 is no bigger than the TS202 Crestliner......102" main beam. The G3 model is 20'10" and the Crestliner is 20' 2". The only major difference is the layout and the hull. The Crestliner is welded and the G3 is riveted. |

| All the boats listed are far from bass boats. A bass boat is a bass boat, the boats that people have suggested all have a deep V style. None of the boats suggested will fish like a bass boat. All the boats listed will be able to handle any water you could possible throw at it. All the boats suggested have been run on waters like Mille Lacs, Missouri River in the Dakotas and the Great Lakes. All of the boats will handle those waters. Will they handle those waters better than a bass boat, absolutely. Like Horshak said, I'd take a strong look at the Tuffy x-190, it's kinda like a hybrid, but still has that deep v. The x-190 is the closest in comparison depth wise to a Lund Pro-V, just not as bulky and deep in the hull, very very similar. |

| My 18'er will run right around 50 mph (fully loaded). As far as stability goes, when Fishing Smallies on the Saginaw River I walk around on the gunnels while pitching/flipping with no tipping - VERY stable. C-man |
