Skiff
I just traded for a 1780 DLX last march and I love it. The only boat that is not pushed by the wind is a 3000lb bass boat, they sit so low in the water. I went for the 1780 because of the width. There is so much more room than the 1765. You can't go wrong with a Skiff. Some folks say it is too large to Crappie fish out of,but lots of folks fish from a pontoon. I also like the Suzuki engine. I have a 90hp 4 stroke, it is quiet and good on fuel. Go for it.
It is not enough that a man should toil and provide,but that he be granted the pleasure of fishing with a friend.
