Magikarp Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 So I've narrowed it down to a couple of choices and can't decide. Just got my boater's safety certification done and have done some research regarding fiberglass and aluminum but still can't make a decision. This is going to be my FIRST boat and I've still got a lot to learn including trailering but that'll be done in time and before I hit the water of course. Don't really have family or friends that own boats or know a lot about boats so it's difficult to get decent help. I'm going to post a few links down below, if you guys could help me decide that would be great in regards to pointing out pros and cons. Majority of lakes around me are midsize, the biggest being Lake Winnebago and probably Sturgeon Bay water. It seems like bigger fiber glass boats are preferred for Sturgeon Bay water but I'm not sure if I want to invest in one until I'm done with school, but not sure if smaller fiberglass boats or aluminums will cut it up there in Sturgeon Bay. http://northernwi.craigslist.org/boa/4938990827.html http://madison.craigslist.org/boa/4975442901.html http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/boa/4981051493.html http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/boa/4961204228.html http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/boa/4986757263.html http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/boa/4983085929.html Quote
Super User slonezp Posted April 21, 2015 Super User Posted April 21, 2015 Sturgeon Bay is going to be choose your days carefully with a small boat. It can get hairy out there. I think you'd be better off in a deep v. Quote
Super User WIGuide Posted April 21, 2015 Super User Posted April 21, 2015 Depending on which way the wind is blowing bago is going to be that way too. If those are the two places you fish the most, a deeper v is going to be the way to go. Quote
LuckyGia Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah I would not ride any of those boats there. Even the fiberglass boat you picked is way too small. Find a minimum of 18'. Quote
