I've been in some crap weather with a full load and 3 decent sized dudes bumbling around back there and never remember saying, "dang my feet just got wet".

I'm right there with you Slot - I like the size and economy too. Fairly easy to trailer and launch and like you said it can fish big or small. Also, you are right the deck is a couple of inches higher, which does eat into the freeboard somewhat. One of the tradeoffs I guess.
