18' Grady White or 18' Edgewater or 18' Boston Whaler? *Of course, Yamaha on the back and all center console! *Opinions??

Too vague to answer. *Need more info.

Let's start with the most important - are you Harry?

Oh, on that question your answer doesn't matter.

Nobody will believe you.

So I think we're done with this topic.

Try internet forums. *But forget the BW. *Way overrated and a bad deal.

Now YOU will be Harry, or Kevin, or loogy, or...... whatever insanity

pops into Scotty's head!!!

Ok, I'll try my best not to be too vague. *Looking for a smaller - i.e. 18' boat - that will serve as a good fishing/family boat, and it will be used in a salt water environment. *I don't want a larger boat than 18' since it will be trailer towed, and I don't want to try to tow anything larger. *I'm looking for a center console since it will be used for fishing most of the time, and I'd like to have the room to roam around. *I like the Yamaha and will probably get the 4-stroke 150.

I've heard that Boston Whaler is definitely not what it once was. *My favorite BW was a 1965 13' with a 35 Evenrude. *What a great little boat!

And, no, I'm not Harry or Kevin or loogy . . . Strange that you should ask! *I'm just seeking opinions. *I'm leaning towards the Edgewater, but the Grady White is a pretty nice boat, too. *Your comment on the BW confirmed that my observations were correct about their being overrated, so I'll scratch that one off the list. *That's the kind of opinion that will help! *Thanks!

Wait for Guzzirules or something like that.. (John) to answer.. I forget
the brand but he has a great boat that he uses enough to give you a good
read... I remember being shown one of his models at a boat show a couple
years back and got the rundown from an old poster here.... Seems like a
perfect boat for a trailer boat. * I will let him fill in the details
but it seems to do all the stuff, boarding, fishing, gunkholing...
etc... and I think he has the powerhouse you are considering too for
that matter....

If I remember correctly, John's boat is an 18' Key West CC with a 150
hp Yamaha 4 stroke,

He loves it! roomy enough to take a bunch of family out, or plenty of
walk around room to fish.
