After today, ( rented a boat at Castiac with my wife & step son ) & decided that one narrow fiberglass boat I was considering just wont do. Its just too narrow for my needs. :(



So I've decided after having fun Beaching the boat a few times today, that I'd actually prefer the aluminum over glass due to it durability.

& then a friend sent me some pics of what he wants to sell me ( He claims he might not actually go through with selling though. )

But it at least gave me an idea of another option.







Looks like I'd not get a outboard if I bought this boat from him for $1000.00 .
But how much might that cost me once I started shopping around for a reliable one for this sized boat?
& about whats the right size HP for this sort of boat?

Even if I dont buy this boat, this is basically what sort of boat I'm looking for & any help finding one would be very appreciated. :D
