[QUOTE="Yotekiller011, post: 4205013, member: 11187"] I agree with Richard, The boat its self does not matter so much I've had everything from a 14" aluminum with nothing but a battery and trolling motor to 21' bass boat and unless you're worried about getting from hole to hole fast it's a waste of money. Get you a good quality aluminum semi v 16" boat color don't matter for fishing, go to Walmart get yourself two pedestal seats go to lowes get one sheet of marine plywood have them cut it in half for you get you some outdoor carpet (not required but for the cost worth it) get yourself a good Tiller outboard 30 to 50 hp., good trolling motor and battery, get you a good hummingbird 7" helix si/di or equivalent realitively cheap unit but works great in the world of electronics today, water temp and depth and drop offs are really all that's important to catch crappie the rest is just cosmetic IMO and some rod holders (not required but nice for trolling) . The platforms will fit perfect in a 16' boat holds the seats well. O yea and a cooler. Get a cheap little aireator to drop in it or just use ice. I even had a buddy who went one step further and piped in a pump but that's a lot work for small return. IMO put your money in a good outboard so your fishing trips are trouble free and nice little boat with good electronics and your good to go. You do not have to spend a fortune and you will catch as many fish as anyone Just pile up with the rest of us, you'll catch fish :D Good luck buddy, Dave [/QUOTE]
