I'm considering a new or used boat. I like to river fish the Grand, Muskegon and also want to be able to fish larger waters such as the Muskegon lake and the Detroit river. After looking online at new boats to get some sort of an idea of whats being made and their intended purpose, its apparent that there isn't a perfect boat to own for all of Michigan's waters. Or is there?
I thought that maybe a 16-18 foot flat bottom boat with a jet outboard would be good for the rivers, and that being cautious on the big waters of Muskegon lake and the Detroit river was the answer. Then I thought that wider and longer flat bottoms would be better to handle the rough waters but everything I've read is that a great river boat should be smaller and lighter.
If I bought a deep vee to handle the rough water, it wouldn't be practical for the rivers with a prop outboard.
I'm also thinking that if I went the the longer and wider route on the john, the sidewalls would be higher allowing the john to handle rougher water.
What is your opinion on a great river boat that will handle the rough waters when the wind picks up on larger bodies of water?
Thanks in advance.
