fish and ski boat
Will a V6 Dodge Dakota pull a boat?
I am considering buying a 2003 Dodge Dakota. The problem is that the one I can get a real good deal on is only a V6. I have a 17 foot fish and ski boat that is pretty heavy. How does the V6 Dakota compare with the V8 in terms of power? Anyone know if the V6 gets better gas mileage?
the v-6 will pull it ,but it wont get any better gas mileage pulling a boat,pulling the boat usually isn't the problem stopping it is the problem,if you have trailer brakes then you,ll be ok,if not it may push the truck,but it wont pull it as good as a v-8 will and it will make the v-6 use a lot of gas,but i have seen a lot of large boats behind the Dakota,s and they will pull them,not good on hills though,good luck with it.

Original Fat Sacs Fits Your Fish and Ski Boat
What boat will let me comfortably fish most of the year in TX?
I bought a 16.5 foot fiberglass bass boat in July. It was great in the summer, but I haven't been able to use it much since October because:
a) it is very uncomfortable to be in when the air temp is below 55
b) it bounces around really badly on the waves whenever the wind is 9 mph or higher (and I get soaked by the waves if I even try to go out on the lake)
I've been told that a longer bass boat (18.5 feet or longer) will be much smoother on the water. Is that true? Also, I have considered a fish & ski because most have a windshield that goes all the way across. I thought I might not get as wet and it might shield me better from the wind.
Any ideas? My main desire is to be able to do more fishing comfortably in colder and windier weather.
Most boats in the 16 ft range are just too light to handle rough water. Even some of the newer bass boats can be a little light because most are out for speed. I currently own a 19 ft Skeeter with a 200 Yamaha. I would rate this Bass boat a 8 of 10 for running in rough water and 10 or 10 for being dry. The dual console keeps the wind down for both you and a passenger. I live in Tennessee and fish year round. Obviously you need to dress for the occation but I have not had any real problems.
Upgrading to a 20 - 21 ft with a 225 HP would certainly be an improvement.
Keep in mind that the heavier the boat the better the ride. But heavier is also slower. If you can afford it, The Ranger is likely one of the heaviest boat out there. The Triton next, but for the money, you can't beat the Skeeter.
Good Luck
