I took a real good look at these boats not long ago before I bought my 14' Sylvan. I preferred the basshunter ex because of the roto molding process. It makes them much tuffer and leakproof. One more you should look at is the Bass Hopper by Southern Outdoor Technology. It just hit the market this spring. It's just like the Bass Baby only 10' long and 54" wide. I thought reasonably priced at $899. Here's the link to view it. http://sportsmanscondo.com/project/the-bass-hopper/

I appreciate all the input. I'm gonna be patient and wait for the right one.

What do you guys think of this boat? It's a 14', comes with an Evinrude 9.5, depth finder, trolling motor, and battery. The guy is asking $1,200.

The only used boats I can find around my area are 1436 jons and 14' V Hulls. I'm probably overthinking this, but I just want a boat that could last me 5 years or so, and not be miserable fishing. I guess the old saying goes for me in this situation, "champagne taste and a beer budget".

That's an awesome job you did on that boat no39. How stable is the v hull with the deck?

I forgot to mention towing isn't a problem. I've just heard the 36" wide jons are pretty tippy. Thanks no39.

I am finally set to purchase my first boat and I want to be as smart as I can about my purchase. My budget is not much at $1,500 so I'm pretty limited on choices. My question is what would you guys recommend, a used 1436 Jon, or a 10' two man bass boat? There's several lakes nearby that are large, but mostly calm water. I will almost always have another person with me also. Any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys, new to this site and really like this post. Has anyone seen the new Bass Boy boat? I'm really thinking about pulling the trigger on it. It's the exact same as the bass baby, only no wheels and its two feet longer. I found it on directboats.com. What do you guys think?
