My dad bought a four winns similar to that one that you posted and he absolutely loves it. It's definitely all purpose fishing and towing. And it's funny that you posted that Thompson because my grandfather had that exact same boat color and everything but he sold it about 10 years ago, but that was alot of fun too. I'd say go with the used Four Winns.

Wow Buck. They're all so cool. As a woman though, I need to see the inside. You know, the seats and all. And the toilet.

Well it depends what you mean by "dirty". If you mean do I need toilet paper, yes I do. If you mean can I pee in the ocean, no I can't.

If you mean something else....?

Hey Buck is the bow on that 23.5 enclosed or open. I guess that would probably be the deciding factor for me. The Four Winns being open would be good because of the obvious open bow space but if a closed bow works better for you as far as stowing gear and what not I guess that would be the way to go.

Wow those pics change things a little. I really like it. But I think it will definitely come down to open or closed bow. I think if you have alot of people on the boat the open bow is definitely the way to go. Either way your gonna have fun so I guess it's good no matter which one you choose.
