So, I've been looking around for my first "real" boat for a bit. Nothing fancy (used, not new), ~14-18ft (room for two adults to fish), outboard, prefer console instead of tiller, but not dead set on that. Mostly been looking at bass "semi-v" styles (think basic bass tracker aluminium) because the primary use would be bass in lakes around where I live. Price range $10-15k? I've found a couple that fit the bill, but so far they keep falling through for one reason or another.
Since I've yet to find anything, I started wondering if I wanted to maybe change my search to something that could handle some basic inshore saltwater too. With the idea being to give me the option to fish for cutts or salmon if I wanted to. Possible? Foolish idea?
What would I be looking for as far as a boat that could do both lake bass and some basic salt? Or is that just going to end up with me having a boat that can't really do either very well?
@Nick Clayton & @Evan B I feel like you'd have info here maybe?
