The boys and I have fished out of a 1968 model 14' Duracraft with a 6hp Johnson that is as old as the boat for the last several years. A couple of months ago I took possession of my deceased father-in-law's 1754 Alumacraft with intentions of fixing it up and using it to fish from this year. However we've run into issue after issue until finally we've decided to pursue a new boat.

One thing is for certain, whatever we get will be an improvement on what we've had!
