Location: oswego, il | Bass boats are not the perfect boat for big water but you can do it. The problem running are the swells. When the waves are close you can get on top but swells will cause the boat to hop off of its pad, even small ones.

or the 522D... http://rangerboats.com/models.cfm?gid=5&mid=7417
Bass boat built on a 621 hull.
If only someone would make my perfect big water muskie boat:
- 20'+ deep-v hull
- Bass boat interior (high floor/low gunnels )
- 10' Rod lockers
- Flat transom for a kicker
Hard pass for me! If I'm spending that kinda money for a 22 foot boat it better be able to seat at least 4 people! |

Location: Tinley Park, IL | Another consideration is fishing in the bassboat in waves. You're going to douse your deck in 2'-3' waves when the occasional bigger wave hits. Doesn't happen nearly as often in a deep V. |

| I compleately agree that I'm my 20' bass boat 3' waves will occasionally come up on the deck for a light rinse. But I see them coming and step off the troller towards the back 2-3' and then it doesn't. If I ever had (one of my two) warrior walleye boats water come over the bow I would be afraid for everyone's safety. Honestly never been close. |
