Not sure what makes guys think bass boats won't handle big waves... Look at the lakes most of the big national bass tournaments are on. They are every bit as big as most of the musky waters fished by many of us. Older bass boat seats weren't very good, however newer boats have very nice seats that don't beat a guy up bad at all.
Advantages to a bass boat- in addition to what was said above, figure 8's are way easier (low to water), tons of storage for baits in compartments, lots of "musky guys" will not crowd in on your "bass" spots, easy to fish 3 guys with plenty of room to cast, can drift/ float in very shallow water, only need a couple feet of water to get up on plane, chicks dig them!
Multi-species boat advantages- better option for trolling
Sorry but as someone who owned a bass boat for 7 years and has been in a deep V for 6, there is absolutely no comparison.
Bass boats will get you soaken wet and #*^@ uncomfortable on the right water and day. Not even close to the same experience |
