I currently own a 18ft. runabout and was looking to get a second boat
for fishing as I did not want to butcher my runabout with putting a
trolling motor on it. The primary use for the boat would be fishing but
would also like to cruise around several smaller lakes in it. The Lake
system I am on has 7 lakes all under 300 acres but one of them has an
open speed limit so things can get rough at times. There at times would
be 2 adults (400 lbs total) and 2 preteen children. I was curious if
anyone had any suggeestions for an inexpensive solution?

Thanks!
