You know, these days, folks are talkin’ ’bout them frontier boats. What’s a frontier boat? I hear it’s somethin’ special, somethin’ for fishin’, somethin’ for just cruisin’ around. Well, I ain’t no expert, but I heard a thing or two down at the market. Let me tell you, there are many different kinds of boats, and many different brands.
They say there’s a bunch of different kinds of these boats. Big ones, small ones, some for fishin’, some for just goin’ out on the water. They say you gotta pick the right one, or you’ll be sorry. What do I know about boats? I ain’t no boat person, but that sounds right. My neighbor, she got one of them frontier boats. Now she is always out on the lake.

Some fellas down at the feed store was talkin’ ’bout a “Frontier 210”. Said it was a good one. I don’t know nothin’ about no numbers, but they sure seemed to like it. They kept goin’ on and on about how it was the best “bay boat”. Sounds like it is a boat for fishing in the bay, I guess. Another fella, he said he was a dealer, sellin’ them boats and he likes the blackjack. What is a blackjack boat? I just know there are so many boats, it is hard to choose.
And then there’s them fancy brands, like that “Boston Whaler”. Sounds like a whale, don’t it? They say it’s a good one, been around for a long time, like, 60 years. That’s longer than I been alive! They must be doin’ somethin’ right if they been around that long. Maybe that’s the kinda boat I need. An old, reliable one.
- Big boats
- Small boats
- Fishin’ boats
- Fancy boats
There’s also a brand called “Quintrex”. Sounds funny, don’t it? But they say it’s real popular, especially in Australia. I ain’t never been to Australia, but I hear it’s a long ways away. They say these Quintrex boats are good for the waters over there. Maybe those Australians know a thing or two about boats.
Then there’s those “bass boats”. I think that means they’re for catchin’ bass. There are many good brands for bass boat, like Caymas, Skeeter, Ranger, Bass Cat, and XPress. They are good for fishing. I see them on the lake all the time. Those fellas in them bass boats, they take their fishin’ seriously. They got all kinds of fancy gear, rods, reels, and them little boxes full of shiny lures. They even got a guide to help them choose a boat for fishing.

This one fella, he was sayin’ you gotta look at all the different models. 27 models from 16 to 25 feet, he said! That’s a lot of choices! I just want a boat to sit in, maybe do a little fishin’. Nothin’ too fancy. But they say if you are looking for a frontier boat, you need to find one that meets your needs. What are your needs? Do you need a fishing boat? Do you need a big one or a small one?
Another thing they talk about is whether you’re a beginner or an “experienced angler”. That’s a fancy word for fisherman, ain’t it? I guess if you’re just startin’ out, you don’t need nothin’ too complicated. But if you been fishin’ for a while, you might want somethin’ with all the bells and whistles. And if you want to buy a fishing boat, they have a guide for that. A fishing boat buyers guide. I think it is now in its 11th edition. That’s a lot of editions!
When you are looking for a good fishing boat, you need to think about what you need. Do you need a simple boat or a complicated one? Those fellas at the feed store, they said you gotta find your “perfect match”. Sounds like they’re talkin’ about findin’ a wife, not a boat! But I guess it makes sense. You want a boat you’re gonna be happy with, somethin’ that’s gonna last you a long time. I want a boat that can make every outing memorable.
So, if you’re thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ one of them frontier boats, you best do your research. Talk to folks who know about boats. Look at all the different kinds, and pick one that suits you. Don’t be like me, not knowing nothing about boats. You don’t want to end up with a boat that is not right for you. You need a good boat, a reliable one, one that will last a long time. You also need to think if you are a beginner or you are an experienced angler. Then, you will find your perfect match and make every outing memorable.
Well, that’s all I know about them frontier boats. Not much, I reckon. But maybe it’s enough to get you started. Just remember, there’s a lot of different boats out there, and you gotta find the one that’s right for you. And don’t be afraid to ask for help. There’s plenty of folks who know a lot more about boats than I do. Good luck with your boat, and don’t forget to enjoy the water.
