What sets bass boats apart
Bass boats are designed from bow to stern with fishing in mind. They usually have seating for two people, although some can fit up to five riders.1
Bass boats are quick and designed to get you from one spot to the next without wasting any time. Most have a large outboard engine that's particularly powerful compared to the slimline shape and light weight of the boat. You'll also find a small trolling motor at the bow.
With a shallow hull and low profile, bass boats can get into shallow, reedy and brushy areas where bass love to hide. Many bass boats can operate in just a foot or two of water. Once you're in the shallows, a fish finder will identify a target and a live well (a large watertight container in the hull) will keep your fish swimming during catch and release tournaments.
