Part 1: Kinds of Boats
--------------------------------------------------

Lets start by identifying what exactly certain boats are.  Sometimes the terminology can get lost on beginners, so well look at some of the most common boats and what theyre called.

Bass/Fishing Boat

These boats are exactly what the name implies.  They are meant to be used for fishing.  Most fishing boats are powered by outboard motors, and many also have a trolling motor mounted on the bow.

Bass boats can be made of aluminum or fiberglass.  Aluminum is lighter and easier to maneuver thus requiring a smaller motor than would be required of a fiberglass boat.  An aluminum boat is easier to transport and requires a smaller vehicle when towing on a trailer.

The most common size of fishing boats range between 16 and 20 feet long and provide anywhere between 50 and 200 horse power in the motors.  Almost all will have bait and fish well for storing your catch as well as separate compartments to store rods, reels, and tackle.

Aluminum bass boats can be a little cheaper than the fiberglass variety with prices between $7,000 and $30,000 new depending on the package you choose.  The most popular size of aluminum fishing boats is 17 feet with a 50 horsepower motor.

Pontoon Boats

These are great boats to choose when you like to enjoy leisurely boating with a lot of people.  They are lightweight vessels designed to make maximum use of space.  They have wide open decks with lots of seating so they can accommodate large numbers of people.

Pontoon boats have a variety of uses.  You can use them for fishing, cruising, and over night trips.  Depending on the size of motor you have, its not uncommon to be able to use a pontoon boat for skiing or tubing as well.

These boats are very appealing to new boating enthusiasts because they are usually lower priced than other boats and they have a variety of uses.  They are easy to customize to your unique needs as they are made in a variety of models.
