    Get ready for a LOT of opinions, none of which agree. There is no best boat for everyone. The best advice I have is to get in a bunch and see what fits you, the guy paying for it. The rest our our opinions are irrelevant.

    Whatever boat the guy who answers has Enjoy the next 10 pages of that with just a couple guys like Adchunts chiming in with some actual common sense that will get immediately overlooked.


    Oh and Skeeter is the best of course.

    Just don’t plan on keeping your stuff dry in the boat if it rains if you buy a newer skeeter.

    I’ll keep my old one. Also don’t really fish in the rain much. But if I did get new and fish in the rain I have a good dealer that would fix the issue for me.

    The one that has been taken care of. All will last as long as you properly maintain them. Never abuse them.

    I was thinking more like all of them. Bass boats are made for fishing and you can fish out of any of them.

    You sure can but their is tradeoffs, a 21 footer is going to handle big water better than an 18 foot aluminum, but the aluminum will be able to get into places that the 21 footer can't. Then there is the issues of price, fuel consumption, deck space, boat layout, hull design, quality, etc.

    Mine is paid off too, but it is not the best all around bass boat. He asked a general question that has no definite answer, only opinions...

    Like asking "what is the best color" or "what is the best food"....just people's opinions/preferences.
