One thing I consistently notice in threads that request information or opinions on buying a small boat is that they invariably result in many posts recommending larger boats and spending two to four, if not more, times as much money. I take the original post at face value and assume the poster actually wants a small boat, not a large boat, and plans to use it where a small boat is adequate to the task. Boat two-foot-itis remains alive and well on internet forums.
