I looked at and liked a 195CC at the Charleston boat show. Have wife, 4&6 year olds, and plenty of boat friends. Great first impression, but a few concerns.

1) Are the plastic boats more difficult to maintain? I would think the would scratch and dull easy. Will be running up on the beach with family to swim and such. Is it a concern as far as the surface is concerned?

2) Did not seem to have very good "dry" storage. Any comments on that?

3) How does it ride. Much talk of smoother ride on plastic. True or talk?

4) Any engine preference or advice? Dealer had a Honda on it, but also sells Yamaha. Yamaha's big in salt, but Honda strong warranty also.

Obviously ya'll may be a little biased, but any true input would be appreciated.

Thanks!
