The pros are a nice cleaning fishing area with no outboards or I/O in the way. A simple straight forward reliable power/propulsion system. Great sea keeping charactistics, dry, and keeps on plane at low speeds say 13 Knots plus. Nice clean wake for trolling. Unique in the fact that you won't see 20 other boats like it everytime you go fishing.

Unforunately every boat is give & take. You loose storage in the center console because of course that's where the engine is. You can't go in shallow water like an outboard or I/O and she doesn't manuever anything like them either. You have to learn how they walk in reverse, I personally enjoy the docking challange and don't see it as a minus, but other cerntainly do. They are not fast, they are 20-24 Knot cruise boats.
