For me, I like to trailer, mobility is key for me. If it's blowing hard NE like it has all this week, I like to be able to go to Westport or upper Buzz. Bay. Come fall I like to follow the bite north to south, again I don't like being tied to a slip. I love the 19'6" McKee Craft I just purchased, I'm kicking myself for not getting into a boat just like that years ago. With a 140 Suzuki the gas isn't killing me but it will get up and go at 32+ knots, cruses easily at 3500 through 3-4 footers, this to me (but again it's all about personal preference) is finally my ideal boat; took me 35 years to finally get there though.
