Well folks I think I've narrowed down my choice for the new boat. I'm leaning towards a G3 model 175. What I am having trouble deciding is one whether to go with the PF layout or the reguar 175 which has a more conventional bass boat layout. Here are links to the 2 models.

or http://www.g3boats.com/EagleSeries/175/
The PF model does have some room to stand in the front but not as much as the 175 bass layout. Each has advantages and I'm not sure which one I'm going to get. I think that Yahaha 60 hp 4-stroke would be OK power for either boat as they have the same hull and weight about 900 pounds (dry hull wt).
I will be multi species fishing but I do have an interest in learning to bass fish. But since I like being able to sit back & put my feet up the PF offers some advantages. Or just get an ice chest with the bass model & use it to prop up the feet.
Any and all comments welcome as this decision is driving me nuts.
Thanks
Mark
