Ok.... Here we go... I’m a fishing junkie. A complete Walleye slaying maniac! With salmon and steelhead on the side. Took a huge break from it, due to work and raising children. Now I’m back to single and only one child at home. I’m looking for a boat that I can Walleye fish the big lakes and also salmon fish the Columbia. Want to keep it at 20K or less. Suggestions?
I just bought a Smoker Craft Pro Lodge with a 40hp Yamaha. So far so good. This is my first boat and I didn't want to spend over $20k either. I plan to upgrade in a few more years to something with a cabin. I've had it on freshwater and salt. It'll work just fine. It doesn't have tons of room but three guys can fish in it no problem. Smoker Craft isn't one of the higher end boats like an Alumaweld or North River but it is good enough and it should resell well, especially with the Yamaha motor.
I bought last years model with the motor for just under $16k. AFter tax, license and all the necessary accessories to get it fishing, I'm pushing $21k.

When I bought my current boat, the prices for a new and well taken care of used boat were just about nothing, so I went new. It may be a different situation now, so used is a good option when you can save money and get into more boat. Used are also nice because they almost always include a bunch of stuff like sonar, rod holders, downriggers and all the other things that cost a small fortune to add to new boats.

Point being, a lot of boats that are not "fishing" boats fish great and don't demand the same cost.

Looks very similar to this one: https://www.lakeontariounited.com/fishing-hunting/topic/74781-19ft-spectrum-avenger-sd-super-deep/

Unfortunately the dealership still has my boat and are taking their sweet time getting to evaluating it. I won't have pics until Wednesday most likely.
