I bought a 2005 Key Largo 174 bay/flats boat with a 70hp Yamaha new for thousands less than a bass boat. It came with all the bells and whistles. The comparable bass boat I was looking at would have cost me six thousand dollars more. With my Key Largo, I can bass fish very comfortably, go offshore on a calm day, fish the flats, or just joy ride. Heck we even took it gator hunting this past season. I bleach the whole thing out when it needs cleaning, no carpet to worry about. It trailers and loads/unloads with great ease. When I was shopping for a new boat, I did all my homework, researched everything, shopped around and in the end, couldn't pass up the deal on the Key Largo. I am extremely happy with my boat, motor, and trailer. The only thing is I wish I had got a 90hp instead of a 70hp, and the Yamaha 2 stroke is very loud. I still prefer a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke any day of the week. I get excellent gas mileage with mine, and the hole shot power is excellent. It is oil injected, so I never have to mix the gas and oil. As far as motors go, I would stick with Yamaha or Evinrude, the new E-Tec as amazing, a buddy of mine has one. Check out evinrude.com, and look at the e-tec challenges, especially the drag race and the tug-of-war. Good luck, and catch a biggun' !!!

Yep you certainly can. Bass boats usually have a bit more of a flatter hull design to go through shallower or weedy water, most bass boats have a good horsepower to weight ratio and actually perform quite well. Instead of lounge type seats they will probaly have pedestal or stool type seats for fishing and possibly some sort of container for holding fish but if it has the horsepower you can play with them and still catch fish, the best of both worlds. One thing, bass boats are usually a bit shallow for rough water so skedaddle when it get stormy.

All the majot manufacturers?.......bass tracker,ranger,triton,pro craft,skeeter,blazer,nitro,and war eagle.
the whole thing in a nutshell depends on how much you have to spend and what you like.
I currently own a Tracker Avalanche with a150 horse Mercury Optimax. It starts at about 22grand. its 18 ft long, and 8 ft wide. it'l go bout 70mph. The boat is made from hydro formed aluminum,and ive had people argue that it is fiberglass.
all manufacturers make different type boats that are fot different people. they make boats for rough, deep water. they make them for calm shallow water, and all in between.
rangers, triton, and nitro boats are by far the top of the line, and the most expensive. they come with alll the bells and whistles anyone would want.
blazers are extremly fast. thats it . you WILL get wet riding in a blazer and they dont handle rough water well at all.
bass trackers are made similar on the interior as nitros, but they are usually always aluminum, with less horse power ratings due to their smaller sizes. they are very tough.bumping into a stump at slow speeds doesnt fade these monsters. very comfortable, but due to most of the narrow models, tend to lean to the side you are fishing out of.
the boat really should have a four stroke engine. they get better gas milagel
just try to research and visit bass pro shops and other boat dealerships as much as possible.also talk to people who you know fish and find out what their opinoins are.
good luck
P.S. dont break the bank!

Well,, don't know where you live at. There are boat mfg. companies in places I have never heard about. Expensive boats Triton,,, Ranger,,, Skeeter...Nitro. Although all the afore mentioned do make Lower priced versions. The Tracker Nitro comes in a wide variety of sizes and horsepower ranges. But, any of the above boats are excellent choices. They have all earned their names on the water. Pro Craft is also another boat to look at.

Yes bass pro shops.An 11.3 basstender sells for under 1500 plus 300 for generic trailer.Its good enough if you dont plan to fish big rivers.Only comfortable for two people.Lots of people spend tens of thousands for boats they rarely use.If you in a boat you always cast to the shore anyway.
