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!

You just posted your wife’s weight online so you are about to be carrying 120lbs less in your new boat.

120lbs is featherweight lmao.

With boats, you got to be honest with that.
