Just like the others said get one with a good trailer & look for storage. A low cost one would be best for your first boat in case you find out its not for you. Don't be discouraged if it takes you sometime to figure out how to catch fish from the boat, if your use to catching fish in hatchery zones then your numbers will go down at first. Also get use to watching your buddies catch fish while you row, really not that big of a deal though. Its all about the boat & the teams success.
