Once she get's a bath and is cleaned up a little, she'll look 50% better than right now, then a few repair's, and like "Cliff" said a "Diamond in the rough" start's coming together. The boat will handle anything in the Bay (my Bay anyway), and back creeks. I think that most other 15' owners would agree that the hull handle's the "chop" better with a little bit of "Power" behind her, you just have to get used to that type of handling (it's a bit aggressive but, the hull won't break). It's actually better to get "up" on the chop, than to try and slug it out by going slow in the snot. My wife had the same concern's, just tell your wife to "grab a rail, we're goin for a dirt bike ride across the woop-dee-doo's", apply "Power" and you'll soon see smiles, cause, It's a "BLAST" ! The hull can handle a lot but, always use "Caution" and "Common sense", and don't go out in bad conditions. As you can see on my "personal page", we "ALWAYS" wear our "PFD's" too. You have to always remember that "although FUN", it's still a "small" boat.
