I want a boat that I can use in both sal****er bays and in freshwater.

The body of fresh water is a very large reservoir (Quabbin in
Massachusetts)
that has a 25 hp restriction and the boat must be rated for at least twice
the HP of the motor used.

I am considering purchasing a Mckee 16 foot skiff (990 pounds) and using a
Yahama 25 four stroke.
or going to a much smaller Mckee 14 foot skiff (665 pounds) using the
Yahama
25.

How are you going to be using it? Are you taking other people? Seems like
getting on a plane with 1000 lbs. plus two or three bodies could be a
problem.

Seems like you'd want to go lighter if possible.

My whaler (450 lbs including 2 stroke 25 merc) has a difficult time getting
on a plane with 3 adults (approx. 550 lb).
