Hello everyone, I am 52 and will be retiring this year and would like to purchase a bass boat. The problem is I don’t have any real boating experience to speak of, but I do like bass fishing and plan to do much of it when retired. I live in Palm Beach and plan to fish Lake O, Holiday park, Sawgrass recreation and local canals. I was hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction. I have a budget of around $50,000 and wondered if I should go with an aluminum for its shallow water draft or a fiberglass for its stability. I like the thought of an aluminum for its ability to get into skinny water but don’t know if it’s an adequate platform for the water I want to fish. Any help will be appreciated!
