re: Want to get into freshwater fishing more with son - Boat Q

stay away from rivitted boats and stick with welded ones if the old wallet allows. there are tons of places less than 2 hrs from you where ya'll can go. just ask on the OB and someone will give you advice. don't expect too much advice from other sites (cough, cough, la sportsman) on where and what bc of the mass paranoia that seems to get worse every day.
also, make sure the budget includes a trolling motor.
