Suggestions for a 15' boat

lakershaker · 01-28-2008, 05:20 PM

Hello all,
I am looking for a small outboard boat in the 14'-16' range to use as a fishing/utility & shuttle boat at the island. It would spend the summer at the island as opposed to on a mainland slip. I would love a Boston Whaler, but looking around it seems the extra price you pay for a whaler may not be worth it, and have never seen a used one that wasn't ancient.

I went to the Hartford boat show this weekend, and saw a Campion 16' that looked interesting, but I have never heard of them before. Any one out there have experience with them, or other suggestions? Also saw a Key West, and HydraSport, but at 18' that is probably too big for what I am looking for.

As always, thanks in advance for any help and advice!
