Hello -
If you can find a Prindle 18 you will not believe the ride or the ease of righting the boat. Extremely hard to screw up on the boat as the hulls displace enough area and they are built to last. I own a P-19 (a larger version of 18-2) and previously owned a P-18 which was a lot more fun cause you drove right up the beach.
