Travel Time
Boat - If getting to your fishing location on the water as quickly as you can a boat with a outboard motor is going to be your best bet. Using a boat allows you to get to your favorite fishing spots a lot quicker.
Kayak - Perhaps your favorite fishing hole is not that far away and you can easily get there by paddling then a kayak will meet your needs.
When it comes to travel time on the water it is evident that a boat will get you to your favorite fishing hole faster!

Shallow water
Boat - I own a 17' Bass Tracker boat powered by a 60hp Mercury Jet outboard motor and the boat can get me to a lot of locations in the local rivers to fish. However, in the heat of the summer when the water level in the river is low it can be a challenge navigating the waters because of how shallow the water is with rocks and debris. Being the frugal person that I am... I cringe at the thought of ripping the hull of my boat open or dinging lower unit of my outboard against a rock. The cost or cosmetic affect could be significant depending on what you strike. The bottom line is the boat will get me into some shallow water but not as shallow of water as can be reached with a kayak.
Kayak - On the other hand I can pretty much get anywhere with my kayak.My kayak allows me to navigate easily over rock shelfs in the river water or the most shallow inlet areas at the beach. Navigating shallow water in a kayak is fairly effortless with no need to worry about striking any rocks or debris because the hull only needs a minimum amount of clearance within the water.

Space
Boat - Having ample storage to store equipment and gear is a necessity, especially when you are out on the water for long days. With the exception of basic jon boats and smaller bass boats many boats have a tremendous amount of storage in them. It seems with each new year and model of boat the manufacturers find a way to create more storage compartments.
