Item ID:What is a fishing boat?
| |
Price: $ |
 Description:
A fishing boat is a vessel or ship used to catch fish in the sea, or on a lake or a river and often has a well to keep the fish alive for as long as possible. Fishing boats are designed with open cockpits in the back of the boat to maximize the deck space needed for fishing. As a result, there is less seating and smaller accommodations on a fishing boat than there are on a cruising boat. Like cruising boats, larger fishing boats also provide cabins for overnighting and extended fishing trips. Any boat can be used to fish, but we specialize in recreational game fishing boats that are powered by clean and efficient Suzuki outboard motors. Fishing is one of the most popular sports hobbies around the world. While you can get some great fishing in along the edges of lakes or banks of rivers, or walk out a close to shore, a fishing boat is what you really need to get access to fishing on demand, when you want it. Fishing boats come in many shapes and sizes. You can get a small used utility boat with no outboard motor for 2-3 hundred dollars, or a top of the line big water fishing boat equipped with downriggers for approximately 30-35k. Most people start with a small utility boat with an outboard for lake and river fishing - you'll need a trailer as well to haul your boat in and out of the water. The fishing boats will range in size from 12 feet to 24 feet and come in a number of configurations. Here at Marsh's Marina, we focus on the recreational fishing market carrying two of the most popular brands in Ontario. We carry Smoker Craft fishing boats and Starcraft fishing boats. The fishing boats available at Marsh's are generally packaged with a trailer and the Suzuki four stoke outboard motor. This means that you can get the best possible deal on your new fishing boat. |

Item ID:What makes a Good Fishing Boat?
| |
Price: $ |
Description:
A good aluminum flat bottom Jon boat is a great place to start. With seating from 1-6 people, 6 people fishing from one boat might be a little tight...or really tight! To me, that's a lot of people in a small boat fishing. Be sure to get a good wide one, the wider the better. That makes it more stable. 4 people can fish in a 14ft, any more I would recommend at least a 16ft. Some Jon boats have short sides they are for ponds, rivers and or flat water (water that doen't get rough or big waves), be sure to get one with deep sides, they are for Lakes & Reservoirs. (there are people with large boats that kick up large wakes and could swamp you, so be careful) I started out with a 14ft Smoker Craft fishing boat, then went up to an 18ft Smoker Craft fishing boat, through several boats. Now I am back to a 14ft Starcraft deep V fishing boat. I would rather have it for myself. Even on the 18ft more than 2 people fishing at the same time seemed to be crowded. I would prefer a rivited over welded, if buying aused rivieted, welded or any used fishing boat be sure to put it on the water for a few minutes to see if it leaks. I hope this helps. Have fun fishing, I DO!

Item ID:What is a fish and ski boat ?

Price: $ |
Description:
The Fish and Ski style craft allows boaters to enjoy the two most popular on-water activities; fishing and skiing. This family fishing and recreational boat has enough power to pull a skier or two, and to get to the fishing spot in short order. The Fish and Ski boat includes all the comforts sportboat owners want such as spacious seating and a sunpad. But, stowed away are the features it takes to pursue fish with a fury. A livewell replaces a storage compartment and usually the sunpad area converts to a fishing platform with swivel seats. These family fishing boats even have a stowaway trolling motor to silently stalk the fish. |
