thinkin of buying a boat probably not for a year or so
have a good bit of experience in boats and was thinkin of something that can fish shallow water and be able to travel 30 miles or so along the east coast
have the use of a dingy but would the inflatable sides cause the obvious hazards treble hooks etc

im just lookin for something that will fish 3 or maybe 4 people something that i can row in shallow water that will take an outboard to get around howth head if need be
havnt a clue of types and names of boats but something light enough to launch and doesnt take all day to travel 10 miles or so 25-30 hp engine?
