Capt. Steve Says
Ive always wondered how a guy can buy a boat thats only dedicated to fishing and still get along with his wife and kids. I figure those guys must be single, because that would never fly in my house. So to get my light fishing kicks, itd have to be a fish and ski package that we can all enjoy, and still tow behind a light duty vehicle. The Tahoe Q5i SF is just such a boat.
Storage for Whats Needed
I had fun checking out the latest addition to the Tahoe line because I could easily picture my family onboard and see how the boat would handle us. As is typical with a boat this size theres limited storage, so if youre not the type to wear life jackets, nows a good time to start.
The storage in these boats is better suited for the skis and fishing gear and not stuffing life jackets where youll leave and forget them. But for the rest of the goodies, theres ample room for what you need to bring. Up in the bow, theres the usual under seat storage that we use for towels, the bags with hats, sunscreen etc
The passenger side has drink holders, a non skid area for the cell phone and a charge receptacle, the AM/FM/CD player is Sirius ready and thankfully has an MP3 jack, and to the left... an insulated, self draining ice chest. Walk-thru windshield supports are strong and the bow seats have drink holders as well.
In between the center seats is below deck storage for skis. Id like to see the hatch here be more rectangular for easier access and a hinge would help keep it in place when the pounding over the waves starts, but this ones still very functional. Drinks are stored in the in-dash cooler and back on the swim platform, theres yet another cooler.
Versatility
On those days when I want to try my luck as an angler, the boat converts easily to a light duty fish boat. There are two fishing platforms, one in the bow and one in the stern, both are treated with non skid and accommodate the removable pedestal seats that are included in the standard equipment list.
The removable MotorGuide 12V, 55-lb. thrust, foot-controlled trolling motor will easily move you about silently, and its powered by a separate trolling battery. In the stern, an 8 gallon aerated live well is under the seat.
The port side seat has an 8 gal., aerated live well. The lid has a stainless piano hinge. And that's a 60w speaker.
Added Features
Tahoe didnt skimp on the features for the boat either. Both helm and passenger seats are adjustable and swivel. Theres an option for a drivers seat that has a flip up bolster, and Id be sure to check that box off on your order sheet. All the vinyl is marine grade with a stain resistant coating, rub rails have stainless steel inserts, and where most boats of this class have basic instrumentation, Tahoe has the full speedometer, tachometer, voltmeter, fuel gauge, trim gauge, oil pressure & water temperature array... a depth gauge is optional.
