UN imaginable, to me anyhow.
but to the original question, a 16' john with a 52 or 54" bottom would
be hard to beat I'd think - ought to be 72" or so across the top.
And tiller steer with NO center bench seat.
At first I thought 15 yrs was crazy then I thought about it. Other than the fact that the interest would add up to a ridiculous amount, I have a 1977 boat and it is still in great shape and used often because i have maintained it as did the owner before me. So it is 30 yrs old and still does the job. I guess 15yrs on a reliable, strong boat that can keep fishing for 30+ yrs isn't terrible if you can buy what you know you want and will keep... Still not the BEST idea, but not the worst by far...
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. :rolleyes:
