Aluminum fishin boat

boater · 04-07-09, 08:28 PM

There are so many places I want to fish that I can not take the Ally. I am thinking about a 14 or so vee bottom fishin boat. that I can double tow behind my camper.
I need sugjestions of good brands and quality info cause I am no familiar with any of em .Also what to look for as far as features and faulty areas when shopping.

Thanks in advance

P.S. This is going to have to be a 700 dollar ranger boat.

Get an old used v hull or flat and dont overdo it. You already have a bass boat. You want this one to be light, easy to get around snags, low draft. Get a cheap bps troller on the front, a pirhana depth finder and if you wish a small tiller outboard. Features are modular. Want a livewell, get a cooler. Want a bilge, go to walmart and get the pumps.

Have you thought of a kayak/canoe? They make very stable kayaks in single or tandem. You can get a used one in your $ range easily and you could strap it onto of your camper. Know it was not your question just another idea.
