i live in eastern washington on the columbia river and i am in the market for my first boat. learned what little i know about fishing from my late grandfather, parents werent too into fishing so we never owned a boat worth fishing from, ski boats mainly. would love a bass boat, family friend owned an early 90's nitro, loved it but he never took me on the columbia, usually just small rivers and lakes. idealy i would like a bass tracker or nitro since i love bass fishing more than anything, but with the columbia being a quite large and very fast river with more than the occasional windy day, would a bass boat be a smart choice or should i look into a deep v? i am by no means experienced and the columbia can be unforgiving for a novice. i just want to make the right decision on my investment and dont want something impractical. thanks.
