I am looking to buy a nice crappie boat or a bass boat that can be converted.I need help deciding a few things like Glass or Aluminum . would appreciate a few opinions on which one and why ? would like to keep the price down to 15k or under but might go more for the right rig. 17 ft. or larger . I also do not want to travel too far to look, maybe 2 to 300 miles from central Tx. the closer the better, would also like it to be powered at or near the boats rated HP.

one more question: will the perfect boat even be possible to find?
