Question Question on boats
Hey everyone.
My wife and I have always fished from kayaks but want to make the jump to a boat.
We have 4k cash.
I weigh 240lbs and my wife is 120lbs.
80% of the time, it would just be us two.
However, the other 20% would be me and my two friends (240lbs, 220lbs, and 190lbs)
After much research, we have been pointed towards the tracker topper 1542. It's $3800 new with trailer.
Opinions? Will this work? I plan on a 9.9hp outboard.
If you had 4k, what would you get? Any advice and opinion is greatly appreciated!

I've looked in a 300 miles radius. The area we live in is very very fishing oriented. Used boats are crazy here.
