[QUOTE="1957Crestliner12, post: 340710, member: 13321"] ...with the emphasis on "my wife and I". A 1232 is a single person boat at best...make that a "lightweight" single person. I fish out of a 1236 v-hull and I'm 5'10" 205 lbs with a 65 lb group 29 battery, trolling motor, anchor, 3 rod/reel combos, tackle, cooler, etc...I stand while motoring and fishing but I have a custom grab bar. My boat is nothing more than a glorified aluminum kayak. I fish alone and it's perfect for what I use it for but I could not imagine putting another person in my boat. If you can get the wife in your boat with you I have a sneaky suspicion that will be her last trip in it. A 1436 would be a minimum for two adults in my opinion. If I were you I would keep the 1232 stored upside down by the pond with a tarp over it for pond maintenance, then get AT LEAST a 1432 for excursions with you and your wife. It's worth it to keep the 1232 because you won't get much for it and you can get a 14' jon anywhere and everywhere cheap. Now...does anyone else need help with any dilemmas?.... :D [/QUOTE]
