I think it is hard if not impossible to find the perfect boat for all fishing disciplines . Each has it's pros and cons. Gain something in one and give up something in another. I guess the first thing is to decide on aluminum or glass and go from there. Or has been suggested 2 boats or more.

A medium sized glass rig can definitely be a good crappie boat. I had an h-56 xpress & it was a good one too but would rather have my stratos 18XL because it does handle the wind way better. If it hadn't been for drifting around like a leaf in the wind i'd still own the xpress. Another member has had it since i traded it to him probably 10 years ago & loves it. I may look at another aluminum rig in the future but i'd really have to check the fishability out before i bought it.

He is saying he needs a jet drive boat to trout fish. I can't think of a jet drive boat that would be good for lake fishing crappie. A jet drive serves such a specific niche.

Oh yeah. My bil had one he had custom made by somebody in Missouri & it was the trick i guess on the shallow waters he fished in indiana with it.

.... Les, I've seen one or two boats on Taylorsville that had "longtail mud motors" on them.
