I live in the Soo, im looking to get a new boat to fish up here but im not sure what to get. I cant aford much, something under $3000 we be about the best I could do. I know it gets pretty chopy but im wondering if I would be fine with a 14' deep-v, for fishing the taq, munuscung, and all the other areas up here. The problem with getting a bigger boat is that I also fish the Grand River in the summer and its pretty shallow. Any tips would be great

For $2000, I found a 16ft. Lund SSV with trailer and 25hp merc. It came with the ugliest home made camo paint job I've ever seen. The floor ( which the original owner put in, doesn't come with one) was rotted out along with the front deck (which the original owner also put in). I put in a new floor, front and rear deck, carpet and threw some gray primer on it for less than $200. Later, I added a powerdrive trolling motor. Next, I'm adding better electronics. It's not as big as most other 16ft'ers, but it gets the job done. I know my limits with it. It is also shallow enough that I could take it on the Grand river if I wanted to.
There are definately deals out there if you are willing to be patient. I had to, that's all I could afford. Otherwise, I'd be pimpin' with a Ranger!!
