I was in the market for a boat that met my requirements

* Capable of taking a passenger out for a few hours and not being cramped (sunfish and 2 people sucks)

*Still capable of single handing, as that is how I roll 75% of the time

*somewhat fast

*Room for snacks and soda

*I also wanted something that had readily available second hand parts, (for when I break stuff, because I can break anything and usually break something.)

*My 4 cylinder sedan had to be able to tow it

I really didn't care what kind of boat that I found, only that it met my requirements. I found my little beater H16 and I figure in a couple years I'll have enough second hand parts collected to be somewhat competitive.

I almost bought a laser, but it didn't meet my space requirements ( food and a passenger).
