JohnH,
I am wondering why you are thinking about getting a new boat. What features
are you looking for in a new boat, that you current boat doesn't offer?

The big change, for me, would be to an outboard and a cabin.

My boat has an I/O which takes up a lot of the space in the boat. The engine cover
isn't totally wasted space, though, because it becomes a bait station, table, seat,
etc., as needed. Without it, I'd have to have a cooler or other surface to perform
the same services.

In cold weather, a cabin would be nice. But, in hot weather they can be sweltering.

Hell, I go through the new boat thing every year, and haven't bought one yet! I
eventually convince myself that my boat is great for what I want to do with it.
