Triton Fish n Ski

I'm looking to sell my 2002 Lund 1850 with a 2003 Honda 115 and maybe go to a Fish n Ski. I like the Triton's, but the 19' and 21' are recommoneded to be paired with a 200hp which I'm not sure about for general fishing purposes.

The reason why I'm considering selling it is that I've lately started doing bass tournaments and really enjoy it. I've always fished bass, but I'm not strictly a bass fisherman. I like to troll a little bit in the spring for trout and salmon stocked in my local lakes and also troll for muskie once in a while. My Lund has livewells, 55lb Minn Kota trolling motor, 2 graphs, on-board charger etc etc - it's nicely set up. But I can see it's limitations for bass fishing - namely speed and casting deck room. Plus, the Lund sits higher and on windy days the 55lb minn kota can't hold the boat very well. The other reason is that my wife loves to be out in the boat but not necessarily fish all the time, and she doesn't really like the Lund because she say's it's not that comfortable. Plus, for a woman, she's a gear-head ! She loves sleek looking fast machines, and the 115 I guess just doesn't cut it for her !

So - my question is, can I still occasionally troll etc with a 19' or 21' fish n ski and Honda 4-stroke 200hp ? I know there are trolling plates, sea anchors etc etc but do they work ?

Thanks !

Now -- thinking about the fish n ski vs a straight out bassboat I would LOVE to buy a straight out bassboat, but I have to think of my wife and family. My wife is very family and people oriented, and as we all know, a bass boat has seats for 2 people .... period. My wife likes to take her brothers, wives, and kids out for a day of fun on the water, and our kids etc etc you're right when you say days spent fishing will far outnumber days spent skiing and tubing etc., but I can't justify spending that kind of money just on ME, you know ? A fish n' ski seems to be a pretty decent compromise. I realize it won't be optimal for fishing (i.e. only a single 24-gallon livewell) ..... there will be downsides to it, but it's better than no boat at all !

Speaking of which, having your own fishing website and all ...... and advice on selling my Lund ? It's a 2002 Fisherman 1850 with a 2003 Honda 115hp four-stroke, 55lb minn kota, lowrance x-50 and x-85, on-board charger, full canvas cover kit, 4-pedstal seats, 1 leaning post full cushion package, Lund mooring cover, easy loader bunker trailer - 50 hours on the boat. It's in beautiful shape.

More options than I listed. Any idea where and how to advertise it for maximum exposure and sale price ? I can't really afford to give it away. I need to get fair market price for it.
