I am looking for my next boat. Unless a decent small glass CC pops up for sale, I am looking aluminum basic spray off and go type boats
Need some advice. I am in Waco, TX, so river and 4000 acre lake fishing, maybe a once a year run to the gulf
My brands in the area are Tracker, Alumicraft, and G3. I could go further and get Lowe and Lund, but mainly want to stay in the area.
Tiller steering, one person, mainly trolling with some drifting for cats and casting for bass.
Jon boat or utility V?
If jon boat: 1436, 1446, 1640, 1656? Engine preference?
If Utility V: 12', 14', or 16'? Engine preference?
Jon is easier to get in and out of, V-hull better for waves. Semi V as compromise?
Sorry, I've only owned one 12' jon before, everything else has been fiberglass bass boats or center consoles. Trying to stay cheap and simple, since realistically I am not that great a fisherman. Don't need livewells, as I am a meat fisherman and a cooler with ice is as complicated as needed.
Once I have the basic combination, I can adapt it as needed over the years
