    My first boat I bought at age 20 when I was still an appy. It was a 3.8m cathedral hull dory with a 28 Yammy on it. I could go anywhere with it, it was that stable. The draft was shallow and the motor too, you could sneak right through some shallow areas to get to the nicest fishing spots. Never hit a prop on it. You could fish a weekend without refueling and it planed well with two of us with kit on it. I towed it with a 1200 toyota panel van which ran on air, or just about. If I remember right my pay was R 180.00 back then :D Fished every second weekend. Best fishing years I can remember.
