? about a boat

[MedicDan]

so I was at the muskie expo, not this year, but lst year, and had entered into a drawing or door prize to win a boat, and I would like to know, what it was, or who makes it. It was weird, it was a very decent size boat, but inside the boat it was like it was all plastic or something, it almost seem like it was made for toughness, it was white, on that particular model, and I am extremely interested in buying one, but I don't know what it is. If you know of a place I can check, or know what it was, or anything at all, let me know, thanks

Was it a Lake Assault? They're out of Elk River, Mn I believe. All aluminum, the floors are diamond plated not plastic though. They were at the musky expo last year and this year.

That would be it, thanks.

Does anyone know what these boats are like?

HEAVY!

[MedicDan]

Would a larger engine componsate for the weight?

Their 18' model is rated for a 200 hp. They don't list a weight on their HSOforum for the 18'. The 17' supposedly weighs 1,200 lbs., which isnt as bad as I thought. They maybe reduced the weight some since I looked at them a few years ago. The 17' however in a console is only rated for a 135. No matter what boat you buy, hang the highest horse motor on you can. Nothing worse than being in an underpowered boat that can't get on plane with a couple guys and gear.

A "reel" fisherman has a boat motor with equal horsepower to his truck
