It depends on your primary purpose. If fishing is not your primary purpose, I would recommend a dual console boat. The reason being, it is a versatile option and ideally fits varying water activities such water sports, sailing, safaris, sitting on sandbars with friends and family, and fishing as well. A center console, on the other hand, is ideal for hardcore anglers. If you wish to spend lots of time fishing, then a center console is what you need.
