I had a shirt season last summer, due to boater safety course etc. Went out a few times with gas engine and electric motor in NJ and MASS. Shipped with hole. Easy enough to fix. Given a kit to fix. Easy enough to patch. Bought electric motor with rebate. Nice stable boat to fish with. Between gas engine and electric motor, well suited for lakes and reservoirs in NJ. Definitely, alot of effort to handle and assemble for evening fishing after work. Interested in best trailer for short trips after work, as that is best for me. Too big for my F 250 inflated. Have hitch for truck and Subaru Outback. Lovely product. At my age, heavy trip to move it and set it up for a short evening of fishing. Searched trailers on line. Would like a professional opinion. Happy with my purchase all together. Spend time with inquiries when fishing. That is how I bought mine.
