Ya, what he said...Versa Vessel, Versa Vessel, Versa Vessel!!!

If you're bass fishing, and serious about it, and like to take a lot of gear with you, it's the way to go!!

Now, if you only fish bass once in a while, get whatever you want. I did the same thing. I saw that there were lots of people that didn't have V.V.'s, so I went with something else. I bought a Blue Heron. Nice boat, but it can't touch my V.V. }(

You'll ride higher and be more comfortable. And it's light and easy to pack. If this wasn't the way to go, I doubt (I know) that there wouldn't be this many V.V. converts!

Edit: I just want to add, that there are probably a dozen people each year that ask the same question. And each year the answer is the same, Versa Vessel. Every year, more and more people buy the V.V. and then they too recommend it. But, there are those that ask, don't follow the advice, and are sorry later. I guarantee if the V.V. were only $400-$500, everyone would own one. Almost everone that's used one wants to upgrade.
