Would a 17ft bass tracker mod v boat work o.k. for bowfishing?

I think that should be fine. I have a friend who bowfishes from an aluminum deep-V.

The problem with a boat is that you're never quite satisfied. I started with a canoe, then a 12 ft jon. Now I've got a 16ft extra wide jon boat but those extra deep jons are looking better and better... and oooooh, look an 18' foot jon boat... [8D]

Start with your bass boat, put a removable platform on it and use is as long as you can.

It isn't a question of whether it will work. Just about anything that floats will work. It is a question of whether you mind it getting covered in blood[8D]

You should see our pontoon boat rig. Talk about redneck[:-], but it works

if it floats and it makes you happy then good luck

That boat will work just fine! Its like any sport....the more youget involved, the more or better equipment you want.

Good Luck!

AmanitaV just wondering if you or anyone have some ideas on making a removable platform for such a boat? Mine is the 18ft Lund Alaskan with a 40hp tiller. I have four halogen lights powered by a small 1800watt Coleman generator. Good for two lights on at a time. I'm concerned about weight most of all. I have a electric trolling motor on the front. Any ideas how to approach this project?

Here is a questtion for you guys. Which boat would be better for bow fishing a flat bottome jon boat, a party barge or a sled(a large over sized jon boat)? Thinking very seriously about getting into this hard core, so please any extra info you have please include.
Thanks
