personally pike i would go for a boat that has alot more deck space and less cabin if you know what i mean. something with just a cuddy is more than sufficient to be honest. i dont know what your budget is but did you look at the likes of the strikeliner,fastliner or a sea hog? these boats are fairly light and easy to launch etc that boat looks fairly heavy.
i started off with a strikerliner which was and still is a great boat there is plenty of deck space and a small cuddy or there is the fastliner which is the 19' version again there is good deck space in nice size cuddy.I'm sure some of the other lads will give you some pointers

or you could just get a warrior :lol:

best of luck whatever you get

not really designed for fishing as in previous thread not a lot of deck space for reeling in the catch . we use a warrior more stable in the water with more space to fish from at the stern.. 19 foot is ideal size but it needs to be laid out a little bit better.but hey every one is an expert and depends what your budget is . good luck with whatever one you buy and just like cars dont buy the first one you see.....

My budget is 2000E.I know strikeliner,fastliner or a sea hog are much better but ...no chance to get 1 with this price.
