Need 5 boats in one
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2011 4:04 am
I currently have a 16' smoker craft for small lakes and a 22 foot Boston Whaler outrage for big water.
I am getting more and more obsessed with bass fishing and want something that is a little better suited for chasing bass. I was poking along on the lake with the family this weekend with the family and both dogs in the little boat with a 9.9 wide open at a whopping 11 MPH when I said ENOUGH I want a bass boat.
Here is the rub.
I want to sell the big whaler and buy something else so it needs to be a little more multi purpose then just going down and buying a 21' bass boat.
Looking for advise on a good compromise.
I want a good bow/ casting deck and a powerful bow mount motor.
Need room for 4 people and 2 dogs at times.
gotta be stable
I want to be able to fish for salmon out of it on the salt.
Gotta haul azz: 45 + with 4 people and gear
A jet sled would be cool because I would also like to fish the rivers.
Ugly welded aluminum would be awesome..... "go ahead bump into me with your bayliner"
Looking to spend around $10-25k
How fast are the larger outboard/jet motors. Ive seen some nice looking 20' sleds that could fit the bill but I always thought jets were dogs???
