The seller sent me the dimensions of the fishing deck of the 250. It is actually a bit smaller than the V20. It has more width, but not length. Thats a deal killer for me. I like the idea of...

I would most likely continue to trailer the boat as I am just 10 minutes away from the launch. From what I***8217;ve gathered, it sounds like launching/loading the 250, solo, isn***8217;t too bad. ...

My V20 is an I/O, so I***8217;m used to it. The 250 looks to be in really good condition for the age, and always a fresh water boat. He***8217;s asking $7900 but it has nothing in regards to...

1986 Sportsman 250?

Hey all.
Any experience with the 250’s? An 86 Sportsman has come up for sale not too far from me and I thought it might be an upgrade (more room, maybe handle bigger waves?) from the V20? It’s an...

Yeah. I***8217;m pretty happy with my current setup which is similar to what you do. I put the cooler on the bow when others are fising with me but usually I just bungee the cooler handle around...

Cooler or Fish Bag?

Hey all,
I am trying to decide between continuing to use my 120 qt cooler, which I often bungee to the rails on the deck above the cuddy, or buying a fish bag and keeping it in the floor storage...

Nice job. More then I want to do. Diaphragm is definitely the way to go. The pump I’m looking at has a 6’ vertical draw so my pipe out the back idea should be good to go. Where are you putting...

I bet you’re right. I see they have portable versions where you can put the hose/tube overboard while using. Maybe I just need to make one of those into a more permanent set up. I actually like...

Thanks. I’m in fresh water only. I currently just splash a bucket on the deck so a sprayer will be a nice upgrade. Instead of a through hull set up I wonder if it would work for me to run a piece...

I’m thinking about one of these to use for autopilot while trolling for salmon. I would use my kicker for speed and the minkota to hold a course. Will the 60” stay in the water trolling into 2-3’...

If I come across a 2500 sportsman in good shape in my area, that would be awesome! I didn’t know about those boats until recently. The layout is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. They are...

Given the DEEEEEP V, do you guys think it would feel tippy while trolling for salmon on the Great Lakes? Trolling is how I spend 95% of my time on the water. I’m usually fishing within 5 miles of...

1992 Albermarle 24

I am interested in y’all’s thoughts about a 92 Albermarle 24.
There is one for sale locally and while it does not have the cabin space I am looking for, it seems to be a good layout for fishing...

I’m not a fan of the pilot house on the parkers. I like a more “open air” feel. That Wellcraft 250 sportsman has an excellent layout but I suspect it will be tricky to find one of that vintage that...

This is the first I’ve seen one of those. That might be the best layout of any boat I’ve looked at so far in that size range. If that thing had a single 4 stroke on it I would be very...

Thank you for the insights. After some consideration, I don’t think I want a pilot house. It looks like it would feel to “enclosed”. Whatever type of cabin/enclosure I end up with, it will be the...

With any luck, I’ll be renting or possibly even purchasing a slip in the next year or so. I still want something trailerable though as I’ll fish distant ports on occasion.

I’ve heard good things about those boats. Few and far between in this area though. Maybe I need to start looking on the coast. I can pretty easily/safely tow around 12,000lbs so that is not an...
