Good luck,

I am starting to see the truth in your caption.

And yes, slow fishing is all I care to do. I just want something that will
get me off the bank, out to where the fish are. However, I would like to get
the hell off the water if a storm blew up. I just might have me a good $200
trailer.


Just had a look at the boats around 18ft at the marina - most had under
100hp. One had 50hp, but the boat was pretty light. And as posts in this
NG can show, a NEW engine is no guarantee it will be reliable - you may
get a more reliable engine that 10 or even 20 years old.

I'd go for a 10-year-old 100hp, probably around $2000 or so, and a 10-15hp
kicker to get you home and for trolling (another $700)
