Thanks again for the replies.

I just wanted to add that I have spent quite a bit of time in a 15' on the CA Delta with Sal DiMercurio, fishing. I don't know if Sal was a member here but he was well known on CW before he passed. I well remember the rides in that sporty little 70hp powered boat.

As I get older I relish the idea of sitting down on my way to the fishing grounds. My Outrage is a super fishing platform with a leaning post / bait tank combo. Just no sitting down unless I have someone else at the helm.
