Hi,
My wife and I are looking to get our first power boat. Our car only has 1500lbs towing capacity, so we are looking for something small.
We would like something that can site 4-6 people and is capable of being in the ocean. We live in Vancouver, BC, so the inlets around here are pretty small and the waves don't usually get too big. However, we have been out before and seen waves that might have been around 6 feet tall. We would usually try to avoid those days, but just in case, we'd like a boat that could handle that.
I'm not looking for a specific boat or brand recommendation. I'm really just looking for a type, size and engine size that I should look for. For example, a 14 foot bayrider with 40hp or whatever. I really don't know. I've been trying to research and have had a hard time finding definitive answers.
Thanks.
