Nice catch Jan!
Here's my take ditzbel - I just got a 150 about a month ago and I'm 90% in love with it. I made a significant downsize from a 25' shamrock. The 150 is a perfect 2 man boat - and I stress 2 man. It's easy to trailer, fuel efficient (Yam 50 2-stroke), and really fun to cruise/fish around in. Plenty of storage for the size and I can easily load and launch the boat by myself which is a big plus when no one else wants to go out on those less than perfect days. I'm on the west coast of FL so I know the challenges of skinny water. This boat is perfect for the flats. I put a wireless trolling motor on the front and can scoot around all day in 10" of water. So what's the 10% I don't like...... It's a 2 man boat. Sure, it's rated for more and you could potentially fit more, heck - it even has seats for more people, but it's really not designed for more than two people in my opinion. With 3 or more people it's very difficult to get up on plane unless one person is basically sitting on the nose of the bow. And fishing with more than 2 - forget about it - not enough room. So... if your looking for something that you and the wife can cruise the flats and rivers in - you found it. if you want something that you and a couple buddies can spend all day fishing on - go a little larger. Hope that helps!
