inboard right for me?

They are a little harder to deal with docking as the slow speeds and small rudder = not enough flow for tight maneuvers.
I had 2, a 17 shamrock and a 20 ft.and they were both more difficult than my contender but do able.

Looks like a great boat but just be careful in those shallow south FL waters.
My shamrocks had keels so it was not as bad it I hit bottom.

I operated a Chris Craft Lancer inboard for while, and without extraordinary caution, I never bent the prop or rudder. But you DO have to use ordinary caution, and remember it's not a flats boat. No different than not driving your camper through the MickyD drive through.
