I have a 13' Boston Whaler with 50HP Mercury. I wouldn't trade it for anything. It can haul 4 guys, decoys, a dog and cooler and is the most stable 13' boat on the water. You can pick up used 13' Whalers in well used condition for about $2,000.

It has a terrible flat bottom boat ride but, it will get you there and back in any weather condition. The boat can be completely swamped(which is has been a few times) and the powerhead is still out of the water. Pull the plug and run, let er' drain and get back on plane.....

For shooting, the whaler is unbeatable. Three guys can safely move around without tipping the boat. The boat has a very shallow draft and can get into shallow water because of the high floatation. The downfall, it is heavy, very heavy compared to a similar sized aluminum. But, similar aluminum boats can't take a 50HP motor or a heavy load safely. Happy

Thank you but it is not my boat, it is Ben Getty's boat he is a sponsor of this site but has not been online in awhile.

I looked through your pictures and I see one probably at the boat launch by the spot we were at that day. I do have a 14' lund and plan to get it out.
