I had some awesome days in my old leaky beater. I put a bow mount and some good electronics on it and that thing caught some fish, so don't don't worry about fancy. Nicest thing about having a less fancy boat is you arent worried about backcountry roads and crummy launches to get into some easy big bites. Now, with my newer Lund I pretty much stay away from crummy roads and hull scraper natural launches.....kind of a shame.
