Thanks all, I feel pretty lucky that the family enjoys to camp and fish. Kids really seem to enjoy themselves. The wife is usually pretty content to chuck a jig over the side and she does pretty good however she started to throw some pike stuff around the weed beds and tied into a nice big girl that got lost at the boat and talk about a woman possessed after that lol. I don't think she picked up a jigging rod for the rest of the trip and none of us can wait to head back.
The boat does get pretty busy with four people in a 14' but with the kids being smaller it should be ok for a year or two. It's a fairly deep wide unit v hull compared to a car topper and one upgrade I'd like to make is a little more power on the transom as the 15hp is just not quite enough when the wind picks up a bit and four of us are in the boat, I tried a new prop and a little less pitch but still has a tough time getting on plane unless the conditions are really good. It will take a 25hp so hoping to go that route and shrink the lakes just a little as well. Will be tough to part with that old evinrude though, it's really served our family well.
