cool reports!
I have a 2002 13' Boston Whaler with a Merc 2 stroke 40 HP. I have a removable mount 40 Lb Minn kota for the bow and Scotty down riggers. It is a snap to launch by myself. I use it in lakes like Goodwin, Samamish, Pot holes & Moses lake and even smaller lakes I have had it in the salt off of Ship wreck and in Kayak point. It is a fine boat in rough water but it can beat the heck out of your back at speed. Other times I have been in heavy wind and was glad as hell to be in a whaler. It is a pricey boat but yes I would do it again. No boat can do everything great but this one does a lot well.
