I had a Duro 15SS with a 30HP Suzuki for almost 15 years. They are great boats, light, can go almost anywhere within reason. I used mine at Neah Bay for a bunch of years in the early 90's. Fished mostly out of Mukilteo. Had two downriggers, one on each back corner and it was a fish killing machine. With two guys and gear I could make about 28MPH and fish most of a whole day on 6 gal of gas. Only time I had a trolling motor was when fishing for sockeyes in Lake Washington. Never had an issue getting wet in the boat unless I was going cross wind into the waves. Still miss that boat on occasion.
