Yes on the center console, price depends on the boat.
My needs are: Fly fishing friendly, handle 2-3' ers with no problem, able to sight fish the flats up North AND drift the rips, economical, easy to maintain and able to guide on.
Downsides of a V20:
A little more draft than I'd like, but may be doable
Won't be too economical unless It has, say a 140HP Suzie 4 stroke.
I could keep the Tin boat for the flats but would rather have a one boat does-it-all, which until now I thought was impossible.
I was on a 22' Panga the other day, not perfect, but close. I've done lots of research on these and it's all possitive for what I want out of a boat.
Downsides of the Panga:
Fit and finish is pretty lousy. All the hardware for hatches and things were coming loose...Nothing a little loctite couldn't fix. Looking down the hull sides it's quite wavy.
They are new so no deals on used ones yet.
Narrow beam and kind of ugly.
I can get a demo 22'er w/Johnson 90 carb 2-stroke, aluminum trailer for around $18k. Wish it was an E-tec but it's not.
Here's some pics, boat is exactly like this except a 90hp instead of the 115 shown.
It's more than I want to spend but for the reliabilty of a new boat and being guide ready, may be worth it. I would need electrnics though.....I'm so confused :o
Not crazy all about the color. But could live with it.
