All the boats are slightly different but the great fishermen will still catch fish regardless of brand! You may have to row a bit harder but if your fishin' correctly the rod still doubles down! Just do what I did, let 1 or 2 good buddies get good on the sticks......we fight over who gets what holes now. Its similiar to fishing a crowded hole and the guy with the old glass fenny is schoolin' all the boys with the 400 dollar loomys. Remeber boats are tools and transportation! I know we always want the best though!
P.S. Nothin' like a fenny when pullin' plugs!
