[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 409781, member: 8516"] I agree with everyone above. Thirty-two inches is much too narrow a boat, especially for a first-time owner. It will be tippy, and even at 16 feet long, will be unstable in almost any chop. My advice is to shop a lot more. This is the time of year when boats are going on the market from folks who just don't use theirs anymore, or decide they want a bigger one, or have some itch they want to scratch. As mentioned, many offers on Craig's list will be for the whole package: boat, trailer, and motor--often with a trolling motor and battery as well. Even at a major discount from the price you stated, I wouldn't buy that rig. It just has no versatility and could be considered dangerous, whether you are an olympic swimmer or not. Shop shop shop. Best wishes. [-o< [/QUOTE]
