Greatest answer:
Solution by It wants to stand On it really is personal
They are all nonetheless high-priced,particularly due to the reputation of bass fishing and bass fishing tv.

in the long run, what you save by buying a cheaper vessel is more then paid back in maintence and repairs.
buy a good well known brand with a good warranty that really covers everything, and an outboard with at least as good of a reputation and warranty. what you pay now you will save with its reliability.
one thing to consider, you dont need a bass boat like the ones you see on the bass fishing shows to catch bass.
those boats are built for competion, where every second counts. they are built to go really fast out to the spot and get fishing, and then hual @$ $ back and get the fish weighed before time is out.
i have a 1984 fisher marine sv4, its a 16′ aluminum hull with a semi V design, hull is flat in the rear but its a V in the bow. brand new 60 hp mercury outboard on it (number 1 on the water, great warranty). its got too little of prop, and goes 31 mph tops on the too little prop (should be able to get 45 mph when i get the right prop on).
good for getting into any spot any of the competion bass boats can go too, just not quite as fast.
aluminum hulls are light and fairly cheap. they last forever as long as you dont crash into something. its big enough to be fairly stable as you move around on the vessel, 3 people with double rod stamps is doable although a bit crowded.
it doesnt take my full size chevy to tow it, my dad’s honda accord (4 cylinder) can tow it to any of the local places just fine.
friday i pulled a nice 5lb bass and some smaller ones. thursday i pulled a pair of 3 pounders. 2 months ago my buddy pulled a 12 lb bass.
you dont need a high priced bass boat to catch bass, or any other fish with.
tracker makes a lot of small, light and cheap aluminum hulls that teamed up with a good outboard in of relatively low power and cost (such as my 60 hp) can still get up to 40 mph. it will pull tubes, and other inflatable water toys, even kneeboards. but skiiing and wakeboarding are hard if not impossible behind most any boat built more fishing.
if skiiing and wakeboarding are things you want, consider a sterndrive vessel with the bowrider layout and maybe a ski tower. bowrider is a very open layout, works well for anchoring or trolling while fishing. ski tower pulls skiiers and wake boarders UP and makes them easier, and helps with catching air for tricks.
