[QUOTE="martinslanding, post: 82763, member: 277"] A boat for the most part is a long term investment, if you love it and take care of it should last for years. If this is your first boat it might be hard to get that perfect match right off the bat, however if you do you could easily have the boat for 5-10 years or longer. This is important to consider when absorbing the below of the initial sticker shock. I selecting a boat first off what are you going to use it for, I assume fishing however some people like to use there fishing boat for water sports and kids too… What type of bodies of water will the boat be used on? What are the primary types of fishing the boat will be used for? i.e. cranking, pitching, river fishing, lake fishing? All of these play an important part in how the boat is set up and configured for the type of fishing most suited to your style. This is important if you truly are keeping the boat long term Max HP yes! this is extremely important especially if you plan on fishing large bodies of water…the only time I would recommend not maxing out HP would be if you always fish on a small lake and you truly are going to use the boat for short fishing trips within sight of your launch point.
