I'm primarily a fly guy and had a 16' crestliner canadian for 7 years. It was a good boat and I regret selling it a few years ago when I upgraded.

Couple other random thoughts. If you're buying new or getting a new trolling motor for the bow (something I highly recommend), you may want to look into the systems that offer navigation integration with your chartplotter. Hummin bird has integration with Minnkota and last year motor guide started integrating with Lowrance. Cool stuff that will keep you on the shoreline or kelpline without having to mess with the remote or foot pedal.

Goes without saying, but if you're buying used (or new I suppose), inspect the thru-hull fittings carefully. I never used the baitwell, but after 5 years of using the boat, the nylon fitting for the baitwell drain cracked on the inside of the transom and caused a bad leak. I was lucky to make it back to the dock without beaching my boat. That was the only issue I ever had with the boat. Things can be very tight on a small boat and access for inspection/replacement all the fittings is worth considering when comparing models. Good luck with the purchase.
