3 Things to Know About Buying Your First Bass Boat

[@EverguardVPN]

Number one should be storage. If I didn't have my current house here on hartwell I would most definitely not own a boat. Having the extra garage to put it in is super helpful.

Thank you Blatt, I’m looking to buy my first boat in the next 2 years

[@dedrickphelps1161]

Excellent advice my Brother!

[@guidefishingofficial]

Great advice. Always appreciate your insight!

[@veryangrydodo2376]

I’ve got all of the above but no storage, what do you think I should go with a bass boat or a decked out kayak? I’ve fished from both and I really can’t decide. I live 20 minutes away from lake berryessa and Hennessy. Any suggestions?

Recommendations for a boat/trailer that will fit in 96 inch wide garage door opening? Plenty of length space as it is a tandem.

My Tracker 175TXW fits into my single car garage that has an 8ft door. It doesn’t look like it will fit. But it does. I can wheel it in and out by hand by myself.

[@PBJFAM]

@@diver165 that’s on my list. Wanted a Ranger RT to fit but don’t think it will.

As a professional bass fisherman on tour, what is the normal rate that a pro fisherman spends on a boat that he is sponsoring or is sponsored by? Do they get their both for free or what is a normal deal for a prof fisherman that’s in these various types of boatslike Phoenix or bass cat or nitro etc. etc.

[@BrianLatimerFishing]

Fishing is like any other business. MOST anglers are paid by their value. Where there’s no value there little to no payment. Where there’s great value there’s a lot of paying

[@IRONHQ]

putting a cover over the boat won't protect it?

[@ralphd71]

I have the money, truck , but no where to store it out of the weather. Stuck like Chuck 😢

That’s why my first boat was a tin riveted boat, served me well for what I had to work with.

[@irishman-fishing]

Also is the body of water really big enough that it would make it easier to fish if you had a boat just saying because some people really like staying at that one fishing spot they say they always catch a fish in and sometimes it’s not that big
