I am thinking of making the plunge and getting an 18' Hard Top Silver Streak built. Are there any suggestions on what options to get and what to avoid? Or any negative/positive feedback on Silver Streak? I want to keep it as inexpensive as possible without skipping anything important. I like the idea of a self bailing deck and a walkthrough windshield.
I'm also hoping to find a good used outboard to keep the price down. I've been told 115hp is plenty and yet others insist on 150hp. There seems to be way more used 115s for sale especially camp returns, but I'm concerned this will make the boat underpowered.
Thanks for any suggestions. I'm hoping this boat will be the perfect fishing machine for decades and want to make sure I get it right.
