If they float and will work for your style of fishing and budget they aren't junk. You can always upgrade in a few years but it's hard to get the bad taste out of your mouth if you over-spend and it hurts your family financially.


Money isnt the issue, its more of an "is this something im going to really get into" Ill be the guy yanking a 5K boat with a 70K duramax lol. I probably dont know enough to realize that i dont know anything (can ya follow that? haha) but to me if a boat is big enough to do the kind of fishing you want at 5K a 30K boat is probably more of an ego thing than a necessity. I realize you gain a lot more speed when getting into the big boy boats, but im not sure a guy would need it on a 1k-3k Acre lake would he?

I appreciate your insight Brian, thanks!!
