Reservoir boat help

Mildee · Aug 18, 2015

Looking to get a smaller boat for mostly electric only lakes....occasionally on the north end of Lanier, never in big water.

What route would y'all go? Pond prowler type boat, flat bottom? .....?

Looking for something stable enough for 2 grown men to fish in and not have to do balancing acts when we move.

Thanks

I bought a porta boat about 15 years ago. It folds flat. Sets up in about 20 min. Just about unsinkable . They aint cheap though.

The 10' Bass Raider sold at Dicks is very stable for 2 grown men, can get cramped if you take a bunch of gear. A 13' River Hawk would also work well and uses a much more efficient hull design. The 15' B 52 is even better.

I would go with a wide body john, or an old bass tracker. Both will be very stable. You put a big enough trolling motor on or two you will be set.

We use a Basshound. It is prewired for battery and lights and even has a livewell. Very comfortable seats. We even take it up to Hartwell but don't venture out on the big water. I found one with trolling motor, battery and trailer for $850.
