We have two boats; a 15' Stealthcraft drift boat and a 18' big river/lake jet boat. Each boat serves a purpose and allows us to access different stretches of water depending on where the best fishing is.  The "chromecraft" (15' drift boat) allows us to access tight stretches of river that requires sliding down hills to launch and portaging over trees. The "chromakazy"  allows us to cover a lot of water quickly and fish the lakes/big river systems safely. I use whichever boat is necessary to access the best fishing!
