8 best rated fishing boats
Rated fishing boats vary in design, size, and features to cater to different fishing needs and preferences. When considering a fishing boat, several factors are crucial to ensure it meets your requirements:
Type of Fishing Boat:
- Bass Boats: Designed for bass fishing, these boats are usually small and nimble with features like casting platforms and live wells.
- Center Console Boats: Versatile boats suitable for various types of fishing, with an open deck layout and a central steering console.
- Pontoon Boats: Ideal for leisurely fishing trips, pontoon boats offer stability and ample space, often equipped with fishing-friendly features.
Size and Capacity:
- Consider the number of people you plan to take on your fishing trips and the amount of gear you'll need to carry. Boats are rated for specific weight capacities, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Hull Design:
- Different hull designs impact the boat's stability and performance. Deep-V hulls are suitable for offshore fishing, while flat-bottomed hulls are better for shallow waters.
Material:
- Common boat materials include aluminum and fiberglass.Aluminum boats are lightweight, durable, and easy to maintain. Fiberglass boats often provide a smoother ride and are suitable for larger vessels.
Power and Propulsion:
- Consider the type and power of the engine. Outboard motors are common for smaller boats, while larger vessels may have inboard engines. The engine's power should match the boat's size and intended use.
Features for Anglers:
- Fish Finders and GPS: Many fishing boats come equipped with fish finders and GPS systems to help locate fish and navigate.
- Rod Holders and Storage: Ample storage for fishing rods and gear is essential. Rod holders make it convenient to manage multiple rods.
- Live Wells: Important for keeping caught fish alive, live wells are containers that provide a continuous flow of fresh water.
Trailering and Storage:
- Consider the ease of trailering the boat and whether it can be stored in your preferred location. Some boats are designed for easy towing, while others may require larger trailers.
Budget:
- Determine your budget and look for boats that offer the best value for money in terms of size, features, and durability.
Brand Reputation:
- Research the reputation of boat manufacturers. Established brands with positive reviews and a history of producing reliable boats are often a safer choice.
Regulations and Licensing:
- Ensure that the boat complies with local regulations and licensing requirements. Different areas may have specific rules regarding boat size, engine power, and safety equipment.
Ultimately, the best-rated fishing boat for you will depend on your specific fishing preferences, the type of water you'll be navigating, and your budget constraints. Always prioritize safety features and ensure that the boat meets all necessary regulations.

User questions & answers
Question: | Can i use a stronger battery without problems? ie; 12v (bci group 24m, 31m), 105ah, cranking amps 800 = longer fishing |
Answer: | I had two pull three of the center tubes. You will also need to modify the tray beneath the tubes. I had to cut out some foam and bend the edges of the aluminum rod tray in order to make the pedal tray fit between the rod tray sidewalls. There are some great videos of this on You tube. |
Question: | I have one of these i bought a year ago here. How can i bypass the forward/reverse and speed control in tiller and mount an external hand controller |
Answer: | Herbert, also consider that I use this motor on a 12' kayak. My average current use is 12Amps/hr - that is at a "3" setting on the handle. If I had a heavier boat, I would increase the power used by using the "5" setting (to maintain the equivalent speed). That would use about 20 amps/hr. So you can see that would almost double the power use that I would use, bring the HP rating to double the .193 HP/hr = .386HP/hr. But the battery life would be cut in half. If you had a double the size battery of 150Amp/hr battery - which is pretty large, you would end up with 2.316 HP/6 hours. I believe that would be the maximum case. One answer mentions thrust. I calculate a thrust of 75.5 newton meters = 55.68 ft/lbs. Some rounding errors there. That pretty well matches the 55 pound thrust specification. If anyone gives you any problem - tell them that electric motors are not rated in horsepower, but the motor does have a thrust rating of 75.5 newton-meters. Ask them if they could convert that to a equivalent HP rating? As they stare at you like you have 3 eyeballs, tell them that : "I have already made the conversion and it equals to .386HP at maximum thrust." Watch the person say : " Uhhhh-yea - that's about right ....good....uh ...do you have your life jacket?......yea?..great ..uh..gotta go......have a nice day!"Watch person jump into truck - peeling away wondering what in the heck a newton-meter is. |
Question: | What diameter is the shaft |
Answer: | Hi, The 36lb NV Series motor draws 29 Amps at top speed. Hopefully this helps! If you have more questions or need additional help, please visit newportvessels.com or give us a call at (866) 721-0002! Our hours are M-F, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Time. Best, -NV Team |
Question: | pounds thrust is way more than I need for a 16 foot canoe. Will it hurt the efficiency when used at very slow thrust |
Answer: | I have a 12' Valco Aluminum boat and it pushes it around pretty good in the 5th forward speed. Prob got up to 5 or 6 mph. I never did it for very long though so not sure how long the battery would last doing that all day. Goes pretty slow until you kick it into the 5th gear and then you feel a nice push. Also have not tried it into any kind of head wind or current. |

Product description
The Lindy Fisherman Series Drift Sock provides a convenient, simple and economical way to slow your drift or more-precisely follow breaklines or other fish-attracting structure when the wind kicks up. The Fisherman Series deploys with ease and dries quickly for convenient storage. The design resists spinning or tangling, and reinforced nylon prevents fraying. Anglers facing windy conditions have always struggled with boat control. Not only is it difficult to stay on fish-holding structure in the wind, it is also very tough to consistently present live bait and lures to fish. With the aid of Lindy Drift Control products, this becomes not only possible, but easy. For years, anglers concocted their own methods of dealing with wind and waves. Many tied 5-gallon buckets to their cleats to create drag; others added as much as 500 pounds of sand on the inside of the boat to hold it down in the waves. Sand bags help to reduce bouncing, but they cause sore backs and greatly reduce speed and acceleration in better conditions. The biggest problem with these methods is their lack of convenience. The folks at Lindy Drift Control set out to create a product that solved all of the problems. The result was a drift sock that does much more than that. Lindy Drift Control Drift Socks are tough, dependable and easy to use. Plus, they dry quickly and pack small so they can be stowed in boat storage compartments. Try a Lindy Drift Control Drift Sock one time and it will become one of the most beneficial, hassle-free tools to put more fish in the boat, even when conditions hamper other anglers. The reinforced nylon material on the Fisherman Series Drift Sock is coated for durability and water-resistance, and resists fraying from normal use. This material also holds up in shallow-water conditions. The Fisherman Series comes with a dump line already attached, making retrieval a snap. For serious anglers, Lindy Drift Control Drift Socks are essential to angling and boat control.

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the referenced 40" dimension the diameter of the opening or the length of the drift sock from front to back (makes a very big difference |
Answer: | The internal dimensions are (as measured by myself) 16" W x 11.5" tall and on each side of the handle you could probably fit a magazine 1" wide x 4" long.I was able to fit an M&P 9mm 10 round mag on either side of the handle and close the case. |
Question: | Does the magnum have a sewn "eye" so I can attach a rope and buoy to make a dump line |
Answer: | Probably, but it depends on the guns. I'd guess as many as 6 of average size of you arranged them carefully. It holds my 4 with room to spare. |
Question: | does this item include the float with strap to attach to boat |
Answer: | It would work pretty good. You could cut out the foam insert to fit your piece. We use it to transport glass as well. |

Question: | Did I make a mistake by buying the new Honda 2.3 for this boat |
Answer: | The 1404 can hold 4 pistols/revolvers. I can fit 4 N frame S&W w/8.375 barrels. I have a second that carries 2 large frame scoped hand guns with room to spare. Great for range transport and can be found for under $10. |
Question: | Should I register such boat? Thanks |
Answer: | Just the foam, not any of the fire arms or magazines. It is a good case for the money. |
Question: | Will this fit in the back of my Toyota Tundra pick up fully inflated |
Answer: | It is available on Amazon (06/25/18) for $11.99. Good value. But I would not use it to travel (checking it at the airport). |
Question: | The photo for the Baja shows only a single seat but the description says it comes with |
Answer: | I am unsure of the specifics... I managed to get a mix of 8 pistols in this case for a range visit this weekend. It is not a super hard case and does have some give, but that should be expected at this price point. I only use it for range visits. It is easier to use then rugs and a range bag. From looking at the Plano site they are extremely similar and the descriptions are the same. http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?BCCID=119&PID=868 & http://www.planomolding.com/product.php?PID=1164 |

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many people can it sit comfortably? - Max seating is 6. It comfortably sits about 4 persons.
- What is Aluminum Framed Marine Plywood? - It's marine plywood that has aluminum around the border. This allows the pieces to connect to each other.
- How should I store my dinghy? - Clean, dry, deflate, roll up and store in a climate controlled environment. If inflated, use a cover to protect it from UV rays and do your best to keep it out of direct sunlight, heat, humidity and extreme colds.
- What should the middle Bow D-Ring be used for? - Not for towing! This is a grab handle that should be only used for lifting the boat, mooring or to tie the anchor onto. Improper use will damage the D-Ring. Use a bridle to tow your dinghy.
- How do I know if my dinghy is fully inflated? - The supplied foot pump is designed NOT to over-inflate the boat. Pump until air is no longer being pushed into the chamber and all wrinkles are gone.
