Its funny, sometimes i wish i had a kayak for short outings and when my targets are close to shore. Lol
I looked for about a year really seriously before pulling the trigger on our boat. For southern waters, it is by all counts overkill on the build of the boat, but when lake erie and the detroit river call me back, i wont have to worry about beating up a lesser boat in those conditions.
I fish moving water alot and the deep V is great for that and even on the busiest JPP weekends, im high and dry and cutting the wakes. But, my boat lacks the huge casting deck, sometimes i wish it had, but i gain the big open floor plan for family weekends with kids and coolers and a ton of seating.
There are alot of considerations when buying a boat, but once you see "it" you will know for sure! lol.
But like Andy mentioned, be sure to use the daylights out of it. Get your money back in memories. So many friends of mine over the years have dumped thousands of dollars on all various types of boats and other watercraft that see the water a handful of times each year.
Good luck in your search for the perfect boat!
Keep us posted!
