What size boat

[Jos]

Looking to purchase a used Bass Boat. What length boat should i be looking at for 665 pounds of capacity for people and gear? My Sea Nymph deep V 17.5 foot held up to 700 pounds but some of the Bass Boats I have looked at only go to 560 or so.Thanks for any replies!

Check out some of the aluminum rangers at Fish-N-Fun. If you want to go with the high end bass boats, they have those also. See a lot of Trackers out there. I would start looking at the 19 foot boats and get it outfitted the way you want it. Good Luck!

I agree - at least 19'. Recommend getting a rig w/ the biggest motor the transom is rated for. You may not need or want the top end speed but the bigger motor will be more efficient, endure less stress moving your load than a smaller motor.
