>>1860836Stay away from new boats, and stay away from old motors. If it's just you, I'd look into getting a fishing Kayak with fish storage and pole holders, canoes are a pain in the ass and suck on choppy water. For you and a few buddies, I'd say a 12-14 foot aluminum with nothing bigger that a 50hp engine. Pic related is my pontoon with a 50HP and she cruises fast.
