I'm sure this type of thing has been beaten to death in this forum before, but my circumstances are unusual, so I thought I'd put this out to the community for comment. I live on a 350 acre lake in Massachusetts. I have a private beach behind the house. I'm planning on getting a two-person boat that I can just drag up on the beach when not in use. I don't have a truck or any way to trailer a boat, but I'm planning on getting a new car (likely a Subaru or some such) that I can put a light duty hitch on later this year. I've been combing Craigslist and the Boat Trader and I'm not finding what I want - and I have no way to get anything I purchase to the house anyway. So I've got it narrowed down to two of the plastic boats that can be shipped to me. I'm considering either the Pelican Bass Raider 10E or the Sun Dolphin Pro 10.2 powered by an electric trolling motor. Since they'd be left outside during the summer, I'll get a cover for either. They will be stored under my back deck in the winter. Later in the year, I'll likely get a Harbor Freight trailer to move the boat when I want to.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks!
Glen
