    Hi all
    I was just wondering what is the best lake boat out there
    Arrow
    DC boat
    Or Sheelin

    I know all 3 are good but which is more stable in a big wave.
    I've been out if the game for too long and going back again soon,
    Thanks in advance for the advice.

    There has been a thread on this not so long ago, I’m sure you’ll find it if you do a search.

    That's what I was thinking myself but was looking for advice from people who may have seen all 3 in action

    Sadly with work I dont always get a chance to log in as often as I'd like and check the responses. My computer days are Saturday and Sunday . Hooe that clears things up a little for you.

    Depends on your situation.
    What type of fishing will you be doing?
    What size engine do you intend on clamping to it?

    as far as I'm aware, DC boats are based off the same hull as the Lynch boats, I think he bought the mold off him. Some of the open DC bloats look fantastic, I was never a fan of the lake boats with the all the timber seats. I have one myself at the moment, and its a pain when it comes to pike fishing. But then again, they are designed for the fly angler.

    Yep he bought the mold from Niall Lynch.
    I am the same as you, next boat will be a fast fisher type.

    It'll mainly be trolling and fly fishing with a 9.9 engine

    Then either the sheelin or Burke boats, not designed for speed.
