You gave me a lot to consider. Thanks for your help.
Something else to consider is the flat deck - you might want to look
at something in the Starcraft, Lund or one of the V-16 Tracker series
boats. It will give you a little freeboard and they are sound boats.

Another "guide" type boat is one from the Princecraft line - I owned a
Princecraft (Don White has it now) Yukon, 14' with a 25 Johnson two
stroke - that was a sweet boat - nice and stable, would do 25/30
depending on wind conditions, plenty of room and it trailered very
nicely. Scott and I took it out several times and it was roomy for a
14' boat with two people.

Ask Don about it - he likes his/mine/whatever. :)
Yessir.... this year I'm thinking of the 'Sun Top' option.
Good for when I'm at anchor, enjoying the scenery. I don't fish (at least
not yet) so it wouldn't get in my way.
As far as operation...in reasonably flat water, it's a blast. i easily plane
up & zip along just over 27 mph (as per Garmin GPS) and comfortably cruise
at 18 mph.
If I was buying new. the DBX option with its open aisle plan and flat floors
would be nice.
