So I’ve been toying the idea of getting a boat for fishing and waterfowl hunting purposes for the past year or so but haven’t really gotten to serious about it until recently. I’ve been saving and am about at the point where it’s time to really start figuring out what exactly I’m looking for and what I am going to need. I will mostly be using it for waterfowl hunting during the fall and fishing for salmon and smallmouth during the spring and summer. I will likely be using it extensively on the Big C and the Willamette as well as the Bays. I don’t want something super big but I also don’t want to be getting beat up out there so I was thinking maybe something in the 16-18’ range and not a flat bottom. I also like the more open layout like a sled has. Then there’s the motor question; Jet vs Prop, HP, hours, etc. I guess my main question is what people with more experience than me would recommend or not recommend from your years on the water?
