In my youth, my friend had a Boston Whaler, about a 12 or 14 ft, with the helm near midship on the right side, and a 25 HP outboard. We both had summer places in Glendale, and would range from Glendale to the Witches to fish and snorkle, to Steamboat Is to snorkle, to Alton Bay for ice cream, to the Weirs to hang out. We were early teenagers, high school age. Stable boat, fast enough to get around, not so fast that we could be reckless. This is dating back to the very late 50's and early 60's.

Fishing, snorkling, SCUBA, swimming, all made very easy and safe.
