Fished out there last night and it's down more than 3'. The marker stick by the Springstead landing is almost out of the water. Got to punch in a few more stumps on the GPS!!

My right is a 16.5 Tracker Deep V with a 50 Merc. Always could use a bigger boat but it's done it's job... Fished with a buddy earlier this year in his tiller boat and it sure was nice to have the extra room. If/when there's a next boat for me a tiller model will get a close look. As far as the question of glass vs. aluminum one big factor would be if you camp or not. A lot of the campsites have rocky shorelines and that doesn't seem like it would be good for glass.
