Re: Talon 12's vs Talon 15's

Universal Mania has 12' Talons for $1459. I only see a couple places online that sell the 15' Talons and they want $2499.
Personally I wouldn't waste my money on either one of them or power poles.

Re: Talon 12's vs Talon 15's

Are the 15' Talons really $1K each more then a 12' Talon? I sure wouldn't pay that much more for 3'. Buy the 12's then with the extra you would have spent on the 15's buy a Minn Kota Ultrex.

Obviously WDFW would prefer if these fish species were eradicated but they disguise their agenda as "simplifying sport rules" which makes it sound like they're doing the fisherman a favor.

It took me a long time to break the DD barrier. Figured out last year that if you fish the delta and clear lake as much as possible during pre-spawn and spawn then there's a good chance of catching a bass over 10 lbs. Even if you don't break the 10# mark your gonna catch a bunch in the 5-8 lb class.

I'm guessing that boat will top out in the low 40's. How fast are you looking to go?
Length will play no part in top end speed. Width and weight combined will probably take a few mph off the top end with what your current boat gets. Heck, being its a new motor it might perform the same.
