If you have a specific fishing style you’re most inclined to, be sure the boat’s design matches. Trollers, for example, will not be happy with a center console that has only two flush-mount gunwale holders and a huge aft casting deck. Fly casters won’t be excited about a fishing boat with lots of snaggy cleats and no raised casting decks. And anglers who enjoy casting light tackle in protected bays won’t be best-served by a deep cockpit with high gunwales. There are a million variables to take into consideration and naturally, most of us enjoy multiple styles of fishing. Just be sure to think about what you enjoy doing the most as you look at the boat’s design traits. here
A center console that matches your lifestyle can bring you a world of pleasure and great memories.

Once again, considering this trait means considering trade-offs – reflect back to the plusses and minuses of hull design, size, and weight. Then add to that your own ambition level. Are you a fair-weather fisherman, or will you head out even when the wind is whipping? Are you willing to sacrifice some level of comfort in rough seas, for better performance when it’s calm out? Are you willing to trade some wave-chopping ability, to have better stability? There is, however, a bottom line one can’t ignore: never choose a boat that may force you to sacrifice safety, in any situation you might find yourself in. more
Bass anglers who enjoy hunting in the off-season will want to check out the Xpress XP200 Catfish, which is covered in camo from bow to stern. List price sits just over $26,000 with a Yamaha VF115LA outboard, and also includes a trailer.
Listing at a hair over $30K, the Ranger Z175 in one of the more expensive option we’re calling affordable, but the MSRP still puts this bass fishing machine well below the average cost of a new car. Just what do you get at that sort of price-point? A top-end in the upper 40 MPH range and a cruise in the mid-30s with a 115-horsepower outboard, a custom-matched Ranger Trail trailer with a swing-away tongue and Road Armor protectant, and all the fishing goodies you want and need in a serious tournament-level bass boat. here
The Tracker Bass Tracker Classic XL isn’t just a throwback to the original Tracker comfortable-if-no-frills basic aluminum bass boat design, it’s also a throwback in the pricing department. Listing at a hair under $12,000, just about any average American will find it easy to afford. [links]
