Congrats.. good choice.. enjoy

What type of water are you mainly fishing? Small, medium or large lakes or rivers. This may give us a better look at the boat type and size that may best suit your needs. Good luck on your search Mike.

Common sense and curtesy is more important than restriction. I run large lakes as well as electric only lakes. I’m running a 21’ bass boat with a 250 Yamaha. On smaller lakes that allow unlimited HP doesn’t mean you have to use it. There’s some I fish that I’m usually just above idle to show curtesy to smaller boats,canoes or kayaks. The biggest issue on small lakes or huge lakes is inconsiderate or ignorant boaters that don’t know or care of the rules or curtesy on the water. Get whatever size boat that will fit your wants or needs. Good luck on your search.

All good advice giving. The first thing IMO is do your research on the lake you’re going to be fishing. Since you don’t have a boat to pre fish the lake do your due diligence and study up on the current condition and ask a lot of question from local tackle shops. That will give you a better understanding of what you should bring. Good luck on your tournaments.

The joy they bring is unmeasurable . But so is their loss.
