Thanks everyone for all of the tips!!! Went to OEX MB earlier today and seems like I can get a Stealth 12 or XFactor for the same price or a Stealth 14 for $300 more. I'm going to set a time to demo the 14 and xfactor and see how much I like them!

And yes, I've had a few different boats and every time I looked for one, the most important question I'd ask myself would be what kind of water I'd use it in and how well I felt I could rely on the rig getting me back to the launch every single time. I've always bought a smaller and essentially more reliable boat than a bigger, faster, and possibly "more fun" model. Getting stuck out on the water when you fish alone a lot isn't fun!!!
