I have owned a 14 ft Wooldridge with a 40hp Yamaha tiller for 12 years, it takes me any place I want to go and turns on a dime. I like the location of the pump, even with the bottom of the transom. I can also troll with the 40hp. I am considering upgrading to an extra plus 18 footer.
I want the extra room,power and a wussie windshield with canvass. As one gets older, cold,rain and wind in the face is not as much fun as it us to be.
