I am an oddball in the muskie world, but I recently went from 25 years of deep V multi-species boats to a bass boat. Even after explaining that I spend all of my time fishing for bass and muskies, leaning on my butt seat, working the trolling motor and casting, never trolling, fishing only small water (800-1000 acres is big for me), I got blasted by almost all for my decision. Even a salesman told me that I was crazy and that "bass boats aren't popular around here." I wonder if the same is said for the guys down south that buy a deep v multi-species rig.

After a full season in a bass boat, I don't regret my decision at all. I really enjoy being "on" the boat as compared to "in" it. The storage and deck space is great and I enjoy being close to the water. I guess everybody has their personal preferences. I doubt that I will be going back to a deep V next time.
