Congrats! Have fun & be safe. Cheers! ~CLK

I tend to fish & boat alot by myself too. I've found when the boat size isn't that great, say between an 18' & a 20' boat - then the time & effort to handle either becomes negligible. My guess is the 209 will do everything for you that the 180 will do, however, family wise, the 180 might not...

Re: 180 Yes I did. They were fantastic to deal with. I worked with Terry McCartney. Terry took me out on the sea-trial,... answered all my questions - not just in regards to the 180, but also the other models (205 Tounament) & eventually wrote the deal up for me. When Terry was out - the...

Thanks everyone for the kind feedback! I really do like my new GW,... & have always appreciated the quality, design & look of GWs. In fact, I did look at the 360 prior to puchasing my BW 345CQ. If the 360 would've had the integrated glass windshield at that time,...then I might have a 360...

Took delivery yesterday - spent the rest of the day & evening breaking in the engine. Snapped some pics this afternoon: And because someone had previously asked - A few pics of my BWs: Cheers! ~CLK

Thanks everyone for the kind words & feedback. I take delivery of the boat early this week. When I decide on a cooler for that space - I'll post pics & info. Pretty excited! Cheers! ~CLK

Just purchased a Sportsman 180 & would like to get a cooler for under the bench seat. What are considered some of the better cooler choices (in terms of fit & quality)? Thanks! Cheers! ~CLK

Well,... a slight change in plans,.... Bought a new 2009 Sportsman 180 w/ an F150, today. When I started looking for a run-about boat - this was the GW I was interested in. Seems I've gone full circle. I really like the 205 Tournament, but believe I looked in that direction, mainly...

Striped Bass & CJBROWN - Thanks for the input! The boat I'm looking at is pretty loaded - Full curtain set, cushions, pylon, trim tabs, washdown. The the only things I would add are; a swim platform, have it pre-wired for downriggers & have the electronics installed by the dealer. I...

Husker & Parthery, Thanks for the replies & info - I appreciate it! I'm considering going with the F250 because it has the option of an electronic throttle control (fly-by-wire). As far as my heigth standing, in relation to the side mouned throttle - I've checked that out & should be fine...

I'm seriously considering purchasing a new '08 Tournament 205 w/ an F250 with electronic controls. The boat would primarily be used for fresh water cruising,... water sports,.... ocassional fishing. The boat would be moored on the lake. Would be interested in getting some feedback on the...
