Re: What is a good bass boat for about $15K?

The delta and clear lake are both "Big" water. If you are serious about your fishing and want to be able to move about these waters comfortably and safely, I'd go with a fiberglass boat at least 19 feet in length. Even at that size, you are going to have to be careful.
