My wife and I are about to retire from teaching and are moving to be closer to her family in Campbellsville near Green River Lake. I've only had a 14' jon boat at home to fish in our strip pits but will need another boat to fish Green River. I'd like to Crappie, Bass, and learn to Walleye fish till the good Lord has something else for me to do. Is an Alum. boat good enough to fight the wind and rough water or will I need a fiberglass boat. I would like a boat with 2 seats up front for spider riggin. I suppose they spider rig for crappie at Green River. I'm thinking it should have a motor of at least 50Hp and maybe 16 or 17' long boat with an easy loading trailer. Would anyone suggest buying a tiller? I think it would be easier to troll with a tiller. The more I research the more I get confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
