I've been looking at the Roth-Bilt 17, which is similar in size, but IMHO, MUCH more suitable for local fishing. The price's great, too. Check them out at http://www.rothbilt.com. They make a standard and fly-fishing (raised deck fore and aft) versiion.
I'd be curious to collect any opinions on the suitability of this boat. What do you folks think?
