When I was researching boats to buy. The late model Bass Trackers are considered the cheapest built popular boat you can buy. They do sell a bunch though. Depends on where you spend most of your time fishing.
I have a semi V aluminum boat fitted out like a bass boat with an outboard jet
Perfect for shallow river fishing and occasional lake use. It wouldn't be my choice for large open water lakes.
If you fish small waters and big you need.2 boats.
