Boating can be taken to almost any extreme (depending on your needs and most of all your budget) from the very small inflatable craft to the super yacht. If you are a weekend fisherman, you will most likely have a 12 to 20-foot long aluminum boat with a 10 to 50-horsepower motor along with a trolling motor. This very popular boat is an excellent size for most lakes and will serve you well for lake fishing.

Inflatable boats are extremely versatile and fun boats to have, because it can be used as a life raft for a larger boat and you can usually add a small motor for power. How about a pontoon boat which has a hull constructed of round tubes, they are attached to the outside bottom edge of a large flat deck. Don't forget the aft-cabin boat, which is a fast-cruising boat with a lot of usable living space and makes for great family outings. Jet boats use a conventional hull and are usually powered by inboard engines. They have a water pump that works like a jet drive on a personal watercraft, which make it go fast and furious.
