Had a 1999 12ft model with 5hp 4-stroke outboard until I sold it in 2012. I used it on Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas lakes. Worked perfect for the wife and I and the occasional grandkids or two. Looking to buy another one (new style split transom) 12ft again. I think that's the best size, 3 seats. The original 12 with motor was bought used in 2003 for $1000. The new boat only will cost about $1800. Towed the last one using the RV brackets mounted to the side of a TowLite travel trailer. The new one will be hauled under my fifth wheel.
