I am considering purchasing in the not so immediate future a boat that I can use on the river. What I am trying to figure out is why some people get a drift boat, while other people get a sled. I have not had the opportunity to fish the river from either as I have always stayed in salt water.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

(Please don't tell me a jet boat is faster. I know that much.)

Which do you prefer and why?
