That seems like a good deal. How are the hulls? My mother has a house on Narr. Bay and we have been looking for something like that for the kids. She's got fifteen granchildren. 24 years old - down to - my eleven month old. They love going tubing, skiing, fishin'.....Can't talk her into a dock like all the neighbors have. She thinks they are an eye sore. Not worth the fight either pretty shallow in front of the house. So I want something small on a trailer that I can splash down the street.

Old fashion Italians, my 4 siblings and I go over there practically every Sunday, along with our Uncles for a 453 course meal.

they aren't pretty, but they are tough. Just like any other boat that age, check the floor and transom, but these things have enough glass in them for three boats. The hulls are fairly flat, so they ride rough, but are prety stabill at rest and will run in shallow water. Once again, if I had the money, it would allready be in my backyard

They are little tanks. As someone already said they are pretty flat bottomed but the bow cuts through some chop like a knife. Great little boat.

18' is really not that small. Looks to be a good boat for the money.
