How about equipment? How much equipment do I bring? What is acceptable? 2-3 rods? and maybe a small tackle bag?

Is there any way to make them stable with a casting deck?

I am deploying overseas for a year in 2 months. Upon my return home I plan to buy my first bass boat to start fishing competitively. Here is my question. Should I go ahead and buy a new one or a used one to start out on? I really like the Favorite Edition Lowe's boat and that is what I am leaning toward if I get a new one. I can't really afford a 21 ft name brand boat. Any help would be great!
