I do agree with you. But, I'll use this as an example. My Fishin partener has a 20' bass boat. Last fall, I spent some time in the back of Painter's Creek. I had great luck in almost no water in my boat. A couple of days later we hit the same spot in his boat. Come to find out that I had my boat sitting where we were casting to. The water level didn't change. He couldn't get his boat near where I was bangin the fish up. We did everything we could to get his boat in that shallow. Couldn't get it there. We caught fish, but missed alot of fish cuz we couldn't hit that water. I know that bass boats are designed for stability and to float shallow water, but I have done it on countless occasions, sat in skinny water caught fish, had bass boats eyein me catch fish, do everything they could do to get in where I was, and couldn't do it. They always ran out of water. I do appologize about gloating a little about that. That's not my intentions. Believe me, I would like a bigger boat. They definately have there advantages.
