I'm thinking I want to get one of the new ones, because in the last year or two, the design of the seats changed slightly. They're now plastic, and can be folded, which is an important consideration when you'll be transporting it about in a very small car like my Corolla. I have a 42lb thrust trolling motor, so I think I'm going to be saving the gas engine purchase for next year. I definitely want the wheels, though. Even though they're way overpriced at $180.
