OK Guys,

With any luck, I will be a Wareham resident by the summer. However, I had no idea about this when I bought my boat this past October which I planned on using in Boston Harbor on fair days (and a lot of freshwater too).

It is a 17' SmokerCraft aluminum boat with a 2 stroke Suzuki 85hp

My question is, is this boat appropriate for Buzzard's Bay? I am particularly interested in spending a lot of time at the Elizabeths.

I also plan to put on an electric trolling motor on the front. Flaptail, I notice that you have one on your boat in that pic at Naushon. Would you recommend one over another?

What areas do I want to avoid with a boat?

Thanks,
Mike
