[font "Times New Roman"]Thank you all for your insight. I will be using the boat for only two purposes, fishing and diving (spearfishing). I was looking for something light not because I didn’t think I could pull something heavy but because I didn’t want the extra reduction in fuel mileage and speed, one of the places I like to go fishing is Baja Mexico, which is quite a drive for me, like two days.

[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Also something that might help refine my search is that I will be buying an older boat. I can’t afford a brand new boat; I will probably be purchasing something from the early 80’s. Just guessing from the prices on craigslist. With that in mind is there any brand I should stay away from? And was wood construction more prevalent in that time period? [/font][/size]
