Bass Boat vs Walleye Boat

Jshock, I have been fishing Lake Erie all my life and I am 56 years old. I
remember when walleyes were practically non-existent in Lake Erie. But
anyway, a walleye boat has more freeboard than most boats, has a wider beam
and is a 'deep V' or a 'modified deep V' hull.
Livewells are probly less than on Bass boats, but Bass boats ride on top of
the water, like a john-boat. Walleye boats are rough-water boats cuz that's
when walleyes usually tend to bite, is when the weather gets nasty. Large
coolers are the norm on walleye boats cuz the fish are bigger and the catch
is larger. Wallaye boats usually have plenty of power, too. A lot of them
are I/O's, but I prefer outboards cuz they kick up the power faster, but
each to his own. walleye boats usually have more fishing room and some
are open bow boats...but the difference is mainly the hull design and the
freeboard...I would say that just about any rough-water boat could be a
walleye boat as long as it has good power.
