When I was boat shopping, some of things that factored into my decision were:
1. I wanted a brand new boat. I wanted the warranty that it comes with and wanted one that was mine from the get go.
2. I wanted to make sure I bought a brand of boat that was reputable, but also had plenty of authorized service centers nearby so if something ever went wrong, I wouldn’t have to trailer the boat across several states just to drop it off at the dealer.
3. My only option was to keep it in my garage, so I had to get one that would fit.
4. I wanted a boat that was built for mostly marsh fishing, but one that could also make longer runs across open water if the weather is right.
5. I wanted one that had plenty of storage compartments, so I wouldn’t have to have stuff laying all over the deck of the boat while I’m fishing.
I ended up going with an aluminum bass boat because it fit my needs for my current fishing situation.
That’s how I made my decision, so hopefully that can help you make yours.
