Thanks for y'alls input! Saw this boat on La Sportsman and got it today. Not a steal, but seems in really in good condition, so I'm good with that.

I grew up in CenLa, so I'll be asking bunches of questions about water nearer BTR. Not to mention I have tons to learn about fishing, period.



Poor pic of a 17' Express with yamaha 90 four stroke.

ETA: Any suggestions for a boat cover?

ETA: Link to ad with much better pics

Keeping the sun off of it and the leaves out of it are important.

If you get a vinyl cover just make sure you have some circulation under/around the cover to help prevent mildew. Breathable fabric will cost more but may be a better choice.

Check out selections at Cabela's or (ugh) Bass Pro
