There are a number of different types of fishing boat available on the market depending on what type of fishing you want to do. Smaller fishing boats are better for short trips to catch fish such as Makrel or Sea Bass.
I have a 151/2 ft. bowrider with 85h.p. Merc. that I use for fishing, tubing, water skiing & all around fun. By the way I bought this rig new in 1975. Lk. Hopatcong N.J.
fishing boats are mainly made for fishing, with the right equipment and room to store the seafood, fishing boats are not made for comfort whereas other regular boats are.
