Boats

Bowfishing boats, any boat can be a bowfishing boat but to have the best luck in seeing fish and getting a shot at a fish is to have a platform. Alot of people i know make their own platforms out of Aluminum/Metal/Wood and other sturdy materials. With 'Muzzy' and 'PSE' brands, they have all Professional made boats with platforms. Here are some examples

This is a V-front jonboat with a homemade aluminum platform



Some people will use anything to bowfish even a canoe!




This is a Sponsors boat, you can see it is outfitted for bowfishing



When bowfishing a 'Jonboat' would be the best to use because they are flatbottom and can go into shallower waters opposed to a boat with a Hull thats made of fiberglass that could crack when hitting a rock. It would also work alot better to make a platform on a jonboar because it would be alot more sturdy. There are plenty of arguments about the Hull boats opposed to a Jonboat but my personal preference is a Jonboat because it can be taken down the river without being tipped easily and i have been in a V-hull boat with a platform on the river and wouldnt you know it, the boat tipped throwing 2 bows, my buddy Jake, and a generator in the water which we all got back because of how shallow it was. So if you ever think of going bowfishing or buying a boat for it. Consider the more expensive but wiser choice 'Jonboat'.
