[QUOTE="skigill, post: 327278, member: 7276"] I bought a used 2000 lopro with 175 merc sportjet. I started with a 1654 triton w/60/40 merc. Then had 2 james river jets, second with 3/8 poly. They were stick steer. Then got a center consoe snyder 16/60 w/poly and it was a tank. I have not been in the 18 ft riverpro but I think it would be great especially if you only fish 2 in the boat. The DCC is in my opinion ideal. You can lay rods down each side for each angler. You can get down to the water all the way around the boat. I have fished center console saltwater boats and its just easier to move around the boat. I can tell you this- it runs shallower on plane than either of the previous boats. I even took in on the greenbrier river, which is really small in some spots. There are some areas of the New you have to have a raft to run, but most of it is accessible by jet. I can honestly say the riverpro is the best river fishing boat I have been in. [/QUOTE]
