I once built a boat. With friends. Out of cardboard. We raced it against other cardboard boats in an artificial pond. It held three full-grown men for several races showing no signs of structural failure. So I'm basically an expert marine architect.

I have zero business with a boat like this, and have no clue what I'd do with it, but I like this boat.
It conceptually ticks a lot of boxes, but I'm not entirely sure if it would fit my desire for a "Suwanee River boat."
Probably too big.
Would love too know if there are other better/cheaper/more-appropriate options like this (particularly like the large, enclosed, dedicated, head)
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.
Living on the puget sound, aluminum is the way to go for island hopping. Without a boat, you miss out on some of the best the NW has to offer!!
Spring projects in the works, should be splashing next week. New trim tabs, underwater lights, switch panel, battery charger, above-deck livewell, and more. Hope all the other boat owners here aren’t bleeding as much money right now.
Also got something in the mail this week.
My trim tabs are tracking to arrive Monday!
Not sure they are going to be the proper ones, the part number doesn't match the picture (007: "As long as the cuffs and collar match") and I didn't notice until scoping the confirmation this morning.
I am in the hemorrhaging stage of boat ownership, bought and paid for but getting everything precisely the way I want it.
I went with electric Bennets, buy our boat is small and on a trailer and used in freshwater.
And we currently have none, so anything will be an upgrade. My main motivation is to try and hold it on plane at slower speeds when I need to. Secondary motivation is faster planning out. Tertiary use if actually trimming the boat...
