Super fisherman

Any thoughts or comments on starcraft super fisherman

Best all around fishing platform IMO. I own a 2001 superfisherman 196. Deep hull, wide beam (101"), a lot of deck space compared to others.

Thank you for the info

I own a 2007 Superfisherman - awesome boat.  Tough enough to handle big water but sized right to make trailering easy anywhere you want to go.  I've never had any problems with mine.

I have a 2001 176 superfisherman. I like it a lot, only real drawback is if you troll a lot in crappy weather the back deck area may be a pain. One of my riggers is set a little back and its somewhat harder to work with when choppy out. Rigger is set back further due to canopy suppost. Also netting fish you need a longer net handle to get to the fish.

But it is a compromise as I fish smaller lakes and perch fair amount also.

What are thoughts on the 176, 17`8`x 100 inch beam quite deep . I just bought a 2012 mostly for muskie fishing but would like to try a bit of salmon and trout. I know i will have to pick my days and watch the weather.

I see you posted this as I was doing my one fingered typing. So would you suggest getting a base so my riggers could be run forward in the tracks rather than in the base behind the tracks. What wind conditions tell you to stay home.

I set mine up with two 36" and two 12" tracks on each side. Moved the canopy rail in about 1.5" on each side to accommodate track. I rarely use the canopy anyway.

If I redid mine this what I would do. Mainly use the canopy when the wife is with me (she likes to fish so I deal with the canopy)otherwise I think its in the way and don't use it much.

 

For fishing Erie I have to watch west/sw winds. Ontario depends on where you launch. I have been out in 3-4 ft waves and felt ok but that is probably pushing it. It also depends on the wave frequency (distance between waves).
