Both boats take time to learn how to negotiate down a body of water, then you have to get dialed in on how to fish out of the crafts. # Of people you would usually fish with is also a dictater. Type of fishing you do if you want to have something where you will use it as a point A to B thing and fish the bank, or boondog, or anchor up, or be the motor man or on the oars and let friends/ clients fish. Make a list of your favorite fishing spots and think through the pro's and cons of each boat at each place. Nothing worse than having a huge boat payment every month and not using it because you are hiking into canyons to get to your fish. Two best days of your boating life, the day you buy that boat and the day you sell it. Good times
