Looking to get a project whaler for our oldest. Something he can start to learn boating but for the first few years by staying near our boat. Looking at either a 13 or 17 project. Any recommendations for this age? Thanks, Jared

A 20hp to start. Now as to finding one....be patient. 1992 Outrage 17 I 2019 E-TEC 90, Viper 17 2+ 2018 Load Rite Elite 18280096VT
