Familiar with 2001 Crestliner Rampage?

[John Boy]

I'm considering purchasing a 21' Crestliner Rampage. It is an aluminum, combination deckboat/fishing boat. It has a tow bar for water skiiing. It comes with a 150hp Johnson Outboard, and a bow mounted electic trolling motor.<br /><br />I'll be be using it for fishing 40% of the time, crusing 40% of the time, and skiing/tubing 20% of the time.<br /><br />1. Will a bow mounted electric trolling motor provide enough sustained power for fishing in windy conditions, as the mounting of a gas trolling motor would be difficult.<br />2. What kind of wake will there be for water skiing.<br />3. Any other info. on this boat would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks a ton!

Nothing beats asking the dealer or seller for a test ride to make sure it meats your expectations.<br />If there will be trolling with a electric motor then I would strongly suggest a second battery set up with a charger for the trolling battery when you get back to the dock or garage!
