[quote kingfisher82]My dad is retiring and moving to Utah very shortly. Me, my brother, and my dad are looking to split the cost of a fishing boat 3 ways. We'll mostly be fishing Strawberry, Deer Creek, and Jordanelle.
What are your thoughts on this boat, the price, and the overall set up?

We've never owned a boat before. We're looking for something that allows 3-5 of us to fish comfortably, isn't too large, and has the basics. My brother is a mechanic and is great with any kind of motor.[/quote]
Carolina Skiff makes a great boat and that is a very nice motor, but they are made for shallow flat water and you will get pounded trying to cut through any chop, the hull just wasn't designed for cutting through rough water. I have been in a few of them when I lived back east and had a blast taking them up rivers and tidal canals, but I personally wouldn't use it as a bigger lake boat when better options exist.
