Down here in the DEEP south Florida suburb of New York 8' and 10' boats are generally off the boat lists in a few days if their condition is good.
We even have posters on Craig's list begging for 10 footers because buying new the transportation costs with tax is silly. Many are hand launching (like myself) and using them in private lakes/ponds/waterways and even out in scarcely used large bodies of water that getting a bigger boat to is unwieldy if not impossible. I have found some honey holes in pristine waterways that have no ramps and NO fishing pressure with my little 10 footer.
Also it seems as if electric only (as well as human powered) tinny boats instead of yaks have been catching on adding to the demand. When I posted my topper in Craig's list in one week I had dozens of texts and calls before someone came right over asking me to hold the boat and not sell it before he got there. Paid cash and left with it in his pickup bed before I could change my mind.
So... with the several "smaller is better for me" posts spread about these pages, I wondered how many own a little boat, are actively downsizing or just targeting another little tinny for a special purpose.
