years ago I was trying to get info on what boat to bring also. I had a 20foot bass boat, very comfortable to fish from and a 16foot John boat no so comfy. I was talking with a guide and he told me to bring the one I liked to fish out of. I again told him I had two boats. He informed me I wouldn't be going any faster than an idle so pick the most comfortable. I took the bass boat and never got on plane and really didn't go much past idle.
