I also owned a Sea Dory Alumeweld sled for a while and it worked fine.It was a 15' with a 90 jet on it and it would run in as shallow water as a flatbottom would. I also used it in the sound alot, not real fun it rough water but what sled would be? The best thing about them is they can be bought relatively cheap. Their drawback is they need plenty of power and are slow.


Oh, and another thing, the boat I had was an absolute fish murderer!!
