I sold the one we had to my son's father in-law several years ago. He still
uses it for fishing regularly. I replaced the Sailfish with a 16' Boston
Whaler Dauntless. Frankly, the Sailfish rode better and had a more stable
hull but was a little anemic with the 90 hp Yamaha.


Interesting you should mention that.

I've been noticing that a lot of manufacturers are specing their boats
with marginal engines - mostly at the lower end of mid-range engines.

It's a curiosity.
