My wife threatened me with bodily harm after my last boat swap. After long consideration of all the pros and cons, I decided to go back to a stick steer setup. This is the most comfortable setup for some of my friends and it is a very fishable setup. Main drawback is a rough ride,however this boat has a more pronounced v-hull than the Duracraft I had and I've had it out on Murray in near whitecap conditions and it is surprisingly smooth.
It's a 16' Weldcraft with a 50 Tohatsu motor. I moved my IPilot and seat to it and a few other tweaks. Basically a new boat, motor had 15 hours on it when the deaker did the break in service.
I called it my funeral boat because I hope it will serve me for rest of my fishing days. Also I'm pretty sure my wife will indeed kill me if I try to change again. We've been in our house for 12 years and this is my 5th boat so she does have a point.
