I was curious if anyone has experience with Boston Harbor in a 13ft Whaler. I am looking at getting my first boat for fishing and island hopping in the inner harbor and wasn't sure if the 13ft would handle the water or not. Also, hull weight and size are an issue since I am going to be towing it with a late 90's RAV4 and have limited, but suitable storage space in Jamaica Plain. I will usually be riding solo or with one other passenger, on a rare occasion maybe up to 4 people, which I know is not comfortable or recommended.

I am looking at classic whalers from 1965-1985 and most likely a 25-40hp 2 stroke engine. My budget is a firm $4000. Just curious if anyone has any input.

Thanks,
Matt
