Choosing the Right Fishing Boat

With the fishing season right around the corner, there's no better time to start looking at your first, or next new fishing boat if you're looking to upgrade. The variety of types, makes, and models of fishing boats can be overwhelming, so RVs and Boats For Less have put together this guide to help you prioritize your needs for your next fishing boat to help narrow down your search.
 

Types of Fishing

The first thing to consider is where you'll spend most of your time fishing. As one could assume, different boats are better suited for different environments. Getting a boat with a long tail or surface driven motor would handle shallow water better than most, and also be useful if you encounter reeds or other aquatic plants that can be tough to navigate through. But a quieter boat will benefit you most if you spend most of your time fishing on a lake. It's a good idea to create a list of the most common areas you'd spend your time fishing so that you can get the right boat the first time.
 

How Big is Your Crew?

Another important consideration is factoring in how many people you expect to fish with regularly, or on occasion. If you fish solo, odds are you won't need the extra room of a bigger boat. But if you plan to bring more than yourself, even on occasion, you'll want to consider a larger model like a center console or even pontoon. The time you spend out fishing can also play a significant role in choosing your new fishing boat. The longer you're out on the lake, the longer you should spend considering amenities like comfortable seating or even storage space.
 

Space & Storage

Fishing boats need to accommodate not only the size of your crew, but also account for your gear, their gear, and any fish you'll encounter. If your quarry is large, you'll want a fishing boat with enough space to allow for reeling in your catch. Fishing professionals tackling smaller game often opt for a fishing boat with storage tanks for prized catches, so be sure to consider all your options before deciding on your next fishing boat purchase.
 

Fishing Accessories

If you are looking to upgrade your fishing experience, having a few accessories along for the ride can make a huge difference! For example, a rod holder will let you keep your rod secure if you need to step away for a bit. Or, set up multiple holders to increase your chances of hauling in a catch. Another useful item is a depth gauge, which allows you to get readings of the depth of the water and will give you a better accuracy while out on the water!
