Thanks Lifeshort, I really like that feature as well... It will be nice to use that front area as a fishing perch... I seen a 2011 Targa on the auction a couple weeks ago and really liked the layout of the Targa's... That boat was up in Washington and I didn't have anyway to find out what shape it was in so I quit bidding around $7200 and it sold around $9000... So I was feeling really bad that I missed that one. Then this one showed up in Vernal and I was able to get my nephew to check it out for me, so I dared bid a little more than I should have, but I really liked the layout of this boat. The 1999 doesn't have as much storage and the 18'er isn't quite as roomy as the bigger longer brothers... But it is also still fairly light (1200-1500 lbs) compared to the new boats at 4000+ lbs... So I think it will be a nice boat. The F&G guy that ran the boat said it was really good on the waves and took them very well... So that's kind of what I was looking for... I'm hoping this one will still work on Cutler's skinny water depth.... Measuring from the high water mark to the bottom of the engine it looks like it will need 2' of water to run, hopefully I can trim that up a little if needed in the shallow areas... Anyway I'm hoping for a boat that will work in both big water and the shallows... Hoping this one will work... Thanks Jeff

Thanks Mike, I did have a windshield, but I think this one looks a lot better than my 1973 trihull has... Hoping to put some of your tips to work in it this next spring when the eyes spawn... Don't have a bow motor yet, but something to work into... Wondering if my 9.9 Yamaha kicker would mount on the transom for trolling... I always hated having the kicker on the bracket, but this seems big enough it might fit without having to add the mount... Guess you mostly cast jigs, but since I don't know the where's to fish yet, I'll probably troll, till I find the fish to cast to.. Thanks for the well wish... J
