Why are they called bass boats? What advantages do they offer serious
fisherman?

They also need to go 60 MPH!

Why? To get to the opposite shore when a shore fisherman there lands a
big one?

The serious answer is for bass tournaments, where everyone starts at a
specific location. You have only so much time to get to your fishing
location, catch your fish and get back for the weigh in.
