Whaler, but scared it may be to small for 2 adults, and a 10 year old. Any input on this would be great. Do I need to keep looking for a 13 footer, or would a cool 11 footer be ok. The 11 footer has a 20 horse Johnson on it, where all of my 13 footers had 40's or 50's. Somebody help me make up my mind....LOL. Thanks much in advance

A 13' with a 35hp or 40 hp can go just about anywhere and do just about anything..... Here is a photo of my prior 13' with an Evinrude 35hp on it.... http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/Sport1...ort13.html Now you have my opinion.... Edited by Joe Kriz on 08/28/07 - 5:57 PM

Putting all new windows in the house, and custom cabinets in the wifes kitchen, has put a dent in the wallet, and I'm one of those who like to pay cash, instead of borrowing. Anyone got a 13 footer for around 4000.00 ??? HELP !!!!

They're out there, keep looking and something will turn up.

It is in very good condition, and I am selling only because I found an 18 Outrage. [img]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y121/stingraze/BowAgain.jpg[/img]
