Find a Fishing Boat Here
There are two questions that should be considered when choosing the right boat: "What will
we be fishing for?" and "where will the fishing activities be?"
Always look for the signs of
quality -- check the carpet and the compartments - they could be plastic, metal or fiberglass. Look at the little
but very important things like the 1000 GPH bilge pump, the six gauge wiring instead of ten or eight that is
because heavier wires gives more power from the battery up to the trolling motor.
There is Five Star Advantage that
ranger dealers often speak to their customers: Quality, Safety, Innovation, Performance, and
Value.
Below is a list of “must have”
things when buying your first boat.
Tow Vehicle - This is one of the
most important piece of your equipment, ensured that has the rating to get the job done like loading up to 3500
lbs. of weight that could easily pull the boat up the hills and mountainous treks.
Second hand Boats - For first
timers, consider a second hand boat. This will be a trial and error stage where fishing skills can be tested.
Consider a larger boat, which is about 19 feet with 20 to 30 miles speed for larger bodies of
water.
Aluminum - In smaller lakes, a
16-18 foot aluminum boat is a good choice. It is cheaper than fiberglass and more forgiving of bangs, running up
into shallows and hitting stumps and rocks. The only downside is that it rides rougher even with the slightest
winds.
Brand new versus Second Hand -
Buying a second hand boat is not only cheaper but holds their value longer and better. The downside is that you'll
probably inherit someone else's troubles.
During casual inspection,
outboard engines problems are not easily identified. The best thing to do is bring someone you trust with you to
inspect a prospective boat or buy from someone you know instead.
Handling the Boat - Listen to the
pitch change when trimming down. Although it will be very difficult for beginners like trying to launch and
retrieve the boat backing it down the ramp. Never worry, because everyone passed that stage and there's no boat
owner that is not willing to help a first timer learn. Sometimes all it takes is just 4 hours or so to learn
the basics.
Buying your dream boat is very
exciting. It is not the boat that really matters but the experiences that come with
fishing.
