Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.
Thanks Dutch. And yeah we're looking at boats in the States for sure.
A tiller is unfortunately not in the cards. Not sure if I'd want one for Nipigon anyway. It would be nice to have a boat with a cover for long runs or nasty weather.
Anyhow, fishing Nipigon isn't the primary function. Pretty hard to justify a purchase for something that would be used maybe every couple of seasons for a week.
I hear you, but I can't stand glass boats LOL!
Thanks for all the input boys, you've been a huge help!
