To clarify my point, buy the best boat you can afford. You can see all the personal opinions you get from people on the subject and most of them assume your boating needs are the same as theirs. I got a ton of input from veteran fish hounds, some told me not to even consider getting a pump! The bigger v-8 jet boats are fine craft, I don't mean to bash them, might even own one one day.

Oh, Willierower you owe me a dime!
