That should work well for my periodic need for fishing, crabbing, bar run, etc. What is doesn't do is make a comfortable afternoon or sunset cruise for the wife, mothers, and other non-boaters in the family (they want cushions, throw pillows, cocktails, snacks). So, what is the 20' (or so) equivalent boat that could meet those needs? I don't want a pontoon boat, and I can't afford the Hinkley. My pier slip could hold 24' or maybe a bit more I think, pilings are about 10' wide. The boat would be used on the Chesapeake bay, and mostly on the local river. I'd love a quiet 4-stroke outboard, and maybe something a little classic looking. Thoughts? Here, I love mine! And my wife and kids do also. http://www.keywestboatsinc.com/boats/show/id/6 Notice all the seating and cushions. Scroll through the images. When the back seats are removed, you have four more rod holders. Good choice! The larger KW boats have a porta-pottie in the console, too. The smaller ones, like mine, use a much more subdued porta-potty. Something along these lines, that floats - just in case... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...HL._AA300_.jpg Of course, that's only for emergency use. Harry endorses this model. http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotta-go-briefcase |
