if it's big water and you want to hold still , probably need to consider a heavy rig ....
not sure what your wanting to do , but if you have family and friends that want to go .....
a boat with room for guests as well , bass boats don't do this well
a deep V heavy aluminum maybe ?
a cheap LS unit and a decent trolling motor ,should get it done ....
probably get it all used and save a few dimes as well
