PROCRAFT® 181 Combo
Most
fish 'n' ski boats can do one or the other pretty well, but one half usually suffers from neglect. Not so for PROCRAFT® 181 Fish and Ski Combo, an 18-footer that can do it all. With PROCRAFT legacy of tournament fishing, you're not going to get a boat that isn't well equipped for fishing, and the 181 doesn't disappoint. You get the real deal livewell with a capacity of 20 gallons, and it even comes with the PROCRAFT tournament-style Livewell Management System with drain control. The 181 comes standard with a MotorGuide® 12-volt 46-pound-thrust trolling motor and a Lowrance® 3500 digital depth finder, and has a lockable in- floor rod storage compartment. The clever seat scheme allows you to remove the outer two seats in the stern bench and use them as full- size fishing seats in the bow and stern. Skiers get a securely anchored ski tow that's braced at three points, and there's a large ski storage locker that can even handle bulky knee- boards. There's also a full-sized wraparound tempered glass windshield, and there's even an optional Bimini top, which is something you usually don't see on boats like this. To crank out the tunes you have a standard radio/CD stereo. The 181 Combo will hit mid-40s with only a Mercury® OptiMax® 115, although those going skiing should opt for the larger 175 or 200 OptiMax. Fish or ski ... who needs two boats when you can have one PROCRAFT.
