Home Forums Fishing Saltwater Bay Boat size input.

I have an aluminum Lowe Bay 20. It sounds like it isn’t in the same category as some of the big fiberglass bay boats mentioned above. Mine is similar to the 2110 bay max. I fish big southern impoundments and the Arkansas River and associated impoundments. That being said, it handles the water I use it in just fine and has a very shallow draft. I think the really large models (I looked at some of the big tidewater boats you mentioned) are geared more toward nearshore use. I mostly bass fish and the boat is similar to a bass boat, whereas some of the deeper V models would likely be cumbersome to bass fish out of. I would base my pick on what I planned on doing most. FWIW, mine pulls a tube just fine with a 115 Merc on the back. Good luck with your decision.
