Bass boat

The modern bass boats are motorboats that feature an elevated flat front deck with swivel chairs that permit the angler to readily cast to any direction around the boat, large storage containers for fishing tackles and equipment such as rods, reels and lures, high-performance fishfinders, and a recirculating livewell where caught fish may be stored and kept alive for prolonged periods of time.

The fiberglass renditions, however, offer more space, better handling, and the ability to house larger outboard motors.

The typical deck configuration featured a long cockpit with a windshield at the forward end and a cuddy cabin in the bow.

Bass boat technology has come a long way in recent years, with advancements in materials, design, and electronics.
