Default Newbe - What's a good size to start with

Especially should your
boating waters be dangerous, it only adds more risks.


What??? The only way this is true is if you're saying that you risk less
financial loss if a small boat sinks, compared with a larger one. Other

than
that, the statement makes absolutely no sense.



Glad somebody else noticed that, too.

"If the water is dangerous, a small boat is better." NOT!

Hey Tuuk, do you have a boat or are you just hanging out for the politics?



I love my boat, in terms of its ability to keep me dry, and get me through
weather that would terrify some boaters. And, if I lift the motor, I can
pole or row my way through 6" of water when necessary. But frankly, it's
pretty damned uncomfortable. With an ice chest, fishing tackle, vests &
battery, it's got plenty of room for 2, or maybe 3, if the passengers are
people who understand where someone's trying to move to next.

I've looked at slightly larger Lunds, as well as Alumacraft and one other
similar brand whose name I forget, and decided that designers cannot work
miracles in boats under 18'.
