I bought an Avon sport boat back in 1987. It has an aluminum floor with an inflatable keel. I use mine for scuba diving mostly. They are very stable and durable, but for there size not very much room. I bought a trailer for mine after a while to save time. Also not many places to mount accessories. If I didn't use mine for diving I'd just look for a good used fishing boat. Good luck what ever you do! Ron
