G and S marine is  great guys.
Like the Reaper said though, keep safety foremost. One of the reasons I got out of boat fishing is because of safety. I really liked night fishing in it, but had a lot of close calls. Its really easy to get into a lot of trouble quickly out there. Maybe spend some time in a buddy's boat before going it on your own. |
Ya I almost wanted the 17 but the differemce was only 5inches! And the price difference was a couple thousand?? anyway I went the other way...The point is for the average bass fisherman, bigger isnt always better and doesnt help land larger fish, its all whats comfortable for the fisherman and also in my case what was economical..As for close calls, I stick in the bay and have learned it well, I dont take stupid chances and do 90% of my fishing now in daylight..I will never give up my boat! I love it so much, best thing I ever did was buy a boat!
