Boats like these have been around at least since I was a kid and probably far longer than that. They are cheap and easy to maintain. I remember them from the 1940's as rowboats that took a small outboard, if you could afford one. Today's Cape Cod version is longer, deeper and takes a big motor. It will also take a whole family out for the day if Dad wants company while he's fishing. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rtaylor/PICKS/2008_PAD/300_1963.jpg.html or http://tinyurl.com/3pcwbm and http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/rtaylor/PICKS/2008_PAD/300_1968.jpg.html or http://tinyurl.com/5y5lds D300 with 70-200 f2.8 zoom.
