So I finally got to take my 1977 15 Sport out for an extended trip last month and I have to say I am sold on the 15 foot as a near perfect boat for my families' needs. More importantly my wife has decided she likes it. We are towing it as a tender locally here in BC and using it as a runaround for any errands as well as prawning/crabbing. It tows well and with the 70 hp Johnson it is a rocket and pops up on plane right now. Much nicer experience then our old RIB.

Of course being a 1977 there are a number of things that need work and that will be an ongoing process. But I have to say that the interior setup that was redone like the Striper model is great for our uses and the fact that it has dings makes me less likely to worry about some of the inevitable damage going forward.
