Tough to beat a 16x54 "Guide Model" alum.Very low maintenance and great durabilty.Brand to pick,in my opinion,would be either a Wild Hair or a Willie.Very tough to go wrong with either one.If you are in the market for a used one,just look for the basics.If the chine isn't all beat to heck and the inside looks kept up chances are it's good in the hood.As far as accesories,keeping it simple can actually a long ways.Less to mess with,less to wrong,and less weight.GO MARINERS.
