I wasn't sure whether to put this in the gear section or this section, considering most of the fishing I will do from a craft of any sort will be for warmwater species in PA. Essentially, I am looking for advice and/examples of the types of boats preferred and used by forum members here. I will be moving to the area between York and Hanover very soon, close to the Maryland line (we like Glen Rock alot, but the research continues). I would like opinions on the best boat for that area, i.e., should I be looking for a jon, mod V, or deep V, and size-wise, what should I be looking at considering I could be fishing the Susquehanna one day and an electric only lake the next, and possibly protected areas of the bay the day after that (mainly the rivers that enter the bay, especially the Patuxent by the Benedict and the Potomac all the way to Point Lookout). I realize that there will never be one boat that is perfect for all situations, but I'm just looking for opinions on what direction I should go. I should also mention that I am looking for an aluminum based on towing it and durability, and will probably have a budget of around $3000, give or take, so I am not looking for a Bass boat that will do 65 mph across the water. Incidentally, in my mind I am picturing a 16', alum. deep V with a 15-20 horse motor? Would this fit the bill, or should I be changing my view of what to look for?
