I agree with AP and Todd that if your primary mission is pulling plugs then you should stick with the DB...I recently got back into the drift boat game just for that reason. There are days when the bulk of my fishing is gonna be done with plugs and those are the days that I will be in a hard boat. The rest of the time I'll be in my raft

My previous post was just to chime in and let you know that you can pull plugs with a raft...not that it's the best machine for the job.

Good luck with your search and let us know what you end up with. There's been a few on CL over the last several months.
