I have a Bass Tracker Pro Crappie which I really like. 2 live wells, plenty storage and designed for crappie fishing. I have no plans of ever getting rid of it. With that being said, my next boat will be fiberglass. They have more stability on those windy days on big water. $$ come into play here. If I would have bought the more expensive boat, I couldn't afford to purchase the items needed to rig it for this type of fishing. Now I can use the equipment I have on the new boat when that day comes. As stated earlier, use the extra cash on the latest electronics. You'll be glad you did. My .04 :>}
And as always...tip it with a minnow!
