Hello all! I was wanting some thoughts on what the best riding fiberglass bass boat for the busy and rough waters of LOZ was. I know the best solution is to go out early and be in by 10AM irregardless of what boat you have, but I'm wondering if there are any real (significant) differences in the different brands and hulls. I know Bass Cat has their new STS hull which is supposed to be better in the rough stuff. Vexus brags up their hulls for smooth and dry. Is there a clear preference in the tournaments as to what many are using? Thanks and tight lines!

I'm on the west side of the lake on the Niangua arm at the 1mm. I don't like real cold, so other than winter, any time is possible.

What do you think the best all around multi-species boat is for LOZ?? (Doesn't necessarily need to be a specific brand/model) This would be used for bass, crappie, stripper/whites, cat fishing, and maybe some walleye fishing. It needs to be safe with all the boat traffic/wakes, but very "fishable" with plenty of storage. It would be for 1 to 3 people, though usually one. It would outdoors all the time, kept on a lift under a boat dock. Thanks for your input.
