Re: What kind/brand of boat?
Ahoy there feller Arkie!

As you probably know, there are a bunch of aluminum boat manufacturers in our neck of the woods, and because of that one can't swing a dead cat without hitting a tinny (as them yankees say

) for sale. Now, the one you should buy depends on a few things. First, what is your budget? Second, where in Arkansas do you plan to fish? There are thousands of lakes, rivers, streams, bays and backwater sloughs all over the state, and the kind of water you'll frequent will figure heavily into what kind of tinny you need. If you'll throw out a few names I can help you dial it in. Secondary to that is how you plan to fish. I know you're primarily thinking bass, but what about trolling for crappie? Do you want something you can drop in the White or Little Red for trout fishing occasionally? Will you be duck hunting out of it? Third, it would help if you could clarify what you mean by V bottom. I'm amazed at how few people around here (Arkansas, not iboats) don't know the difference between a V and a semi-V. I'm not saying you're one of them, but humor me. Fourth, and most important, hurry and get your rig so you can come to this.
