Thanks for the replies guys. I appreciate it.

I'm not at all worried about getting one for bigger water. We've got a fish and ski to cover that duty. I'm just thinking about the creeks and rivers close to home, and maybe doing some frog gigging from it in some friends ponds.

I'm not going to be in a big hurry to buy anything right now. I think I'll watch the classifieds, and maybe even check out several models at the boat show at the end of the month.

Thanks again.
