I feshed out of a boat just like tgat and I hated it. Coarse we were in a stump field and I stayed hung up all day. Open water I guess they'd be ok , but where I fesh, I don't want one.
Minner have ya looked at the Triton crappie boats??? I got me a TC17 in March(traded my 2001 xpress) and love it. Lot more stable that my old boat was.
