Sounds like your getting a Profish...those things need all the weight you can put on them (unless your never going to take it out in rough weather)

Its like playing Cluedo...Im tipping its a Haines hunter 495 profish he's looking at (ticks all the boxes for a 1st boat buyer..good price, looks great, really lightweight fiberglass hull, small hp requirements, comfortable cuddy cabin, etc) Unfortunately because of the weight and shape of the hull, it rocks about in choppy weather.
