re: Anyone buying into the tiny boat fad??

You mean like a modern day Cajun Special? My grandpa did that to a aluminum boat many, many years ago.

personally, if a 16ft boat is what you got to bring, bring it but it doesn't make sense to load it out. Save some more, sell the 16ft and bring cash to get a bigger boat. Wash, rinse, repeat. Boats in good condition bring good money, but accessories bring almost nothing to the sale.
