I am detaing on whether to buy a 203 fish and ski OR a 200. I like the 200 because I can get the standard seating option which actually offers more interior room. Most of this fishing will be in Tahoe so the downriggers will not have a lot of stress on them in rough waters.
My questions are this...
#1 is it possible to mount downriggers on the 200? Any of you that own one out there, is there an area on the side or transom that I will be able to put a mount on that willl keep the body of the boat structurally strong and it will support it?
#2 I was looking to get this for a trolling motor

It just seems that those fish and ski's like the 203 are way overpriced. The fish finder they have on it is like $400 retail and the trolling motor like $600.....somehow that totals $1000, but the boat is marked up like $5000.
thanks in advance for any insight.
