    In general length wins ! If you are a active front bow fisherman the 620 has far more elbow room. The gap on rough water ride is far more narrow than some folks realize due to the trim tabs on the 1910. If you are 3 people or more quite often, the 1910 can start to get small. The 1910 will also be a bit more bow friendly on not getting wet fishing into the wind.

    Typically the deciding factor for a lot of folks is the floor plan of rear side boxes vs wide open with jump seats.

    Ive been using the furys for 2 years in a 50 cal and 40 cal. Bang flop on a deer with either cal.

    All 3 have good points and viable boats. The main difference in floor plan are the side boxes that both the Skeeter and Ranger have vs Warrior side compartments. The muskie folks generally prefered the option to walk the side of the boat. Warrior will have a cleaner floor plan in my opinion and many state it tracks slightly better and fishes backwards better. The skeeter with 115 is still readily available from time to time and idles down nice and does a good overall job.
    Fifes offer to discuss each is very valuable.

    The new models are just being released with interior cockpit changes and the hull remained the same. Mathew is correct in saying carry overs will be significantly less. Everyone looks at this differently in regards to dollars vs new model. Choice is good though !

    Current 2060F models in stock at our store.

    Your goal should be 58 to 6000 rpms. Guessing a 18 salt will get you very close to that.

    In seeing multiple 2 to 10 year old trades from multiple brands, there really doesnt seem to be a huge seperation of percieved quality of build. What is very apparant though, is the qualty of maintence and pride of ownership.

    Thought all 2060’s came with a kicker? Yours must be older. Also for years, all kickers have been mounted on a 6″ setback. I think the setback was needed to get the prop in cleaner water, and possibly triming up.

    Kickers were standard then but a customer could opt for a factory credit. The setback is required as the transom doesnt have a splash well or lip edge to hang directly any more as in the past.

    I think the timing of a big rainstorm will be the deciding factor….

    Some years I fish open water even thru part of the winter. I do the layers under my gore-Tex but wondering about insulated a little more cause getting older and get cold easier

    I know that feeling all to well ! I find that I am wearing my insulated Simms gear more than ever and virtually every trip to LOW I’m sure there are several good options available, but my Simms gear has been the best I have had so far.

    I had & used the therma cells for several years. Good in the boat but miserable to hunt/ walk in. Im back to the charcoal toe heaters or charcoal inserts.

    My experience with pre made tops or enclosures has been less than stellar… While Im not saying there might be something out there that would work well for you,I’m not aware of it. I believe your best option is to have something made specific to what & how you want to use it. I recently just did a few days fishing out of a SX and they are very functional multi specie floorplan.

    We had metal transom brackets made for kicker applications. Give either store parts dept a call for more intel. Dan at Ramsey or Colin at Chippewa.

    I believe bass is their primary expertise, but I certainly wouldnt say they have had a bad reputation in any way.

    Couple of quick thoughts, make sure the throttle is opening all of the way, cables can stretch a tiny bit over time.
    We are seeing some of the same complaints here and believe it or not even a slightly dirty hull can cause enough parasitic drag to slow the vessel down and you will lose some revs also as the motor is struggling to push a dirty hull through the water.

    Hot weather and old or bad fuel can impact as well.

    Wow, I have gotten caught in the great backorder quagmire. I am still waiting for MK Ulterra, HBM360, and Helix 10. I have been told Ulterra to be in next week, but I have heard that several times on this rig. Anyone else experiencing same thing?

    yes & not exclusive to any single boat brand

    I am sure this is true, but keep in mind that Warrior does not build that many boats in a year compared to someone like Ranger or Lund. I thought I read it was around 200 boats a year for all models. I am sure someone here knows what that number is now.

    Actually the number is a bit lower than 200. It is far from a mass production company. With out debate, it’s owner loyaty and support is second to none.

    That would be a 6.35 lb. average. I would have to see that weigh in live to believe it. I’m not saying its not possible, but really difficult. I searched the DNR website to see what permits were pulled for Big stone lake and the only one shown was the MTT <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>Walleye one.

    It was a club tournament out of South Dakota side of the lake.
