    I bet that Bass Cat was awesome. I love those boats and if I ever got a fiberglass bass boat, Bass Cat or Skeeter is probably what I would go with.

    I do have that same issue of water coming over the transom with big wakes from gigantic boats and things like that, but they’re manageable with the trolling motor if I can just take them head on then get back to fishing.

    I don’t have power poles on my 178, though I’ve thought about getting them. My boat is only rated for one though. I would ideally rather dual poles. Honestly though, if I had to pick between whether or not I could have Spot Lock or Power Poles, I would choose Spot Lock 100 out of 100 times. A good trolling motor with spot lock is such a game changer. A good trolling motor with dual power poles is the ultimate set up though so if they’re in the budget I would 100% do it.
