| I was at a boat show and there was a manufacturer that was making four-seater boats that looked like a wooden Riva, but modernized. I can’t remember the name of the manufacturer. Who makes boats in this style? I’m looking for a small size that sits four to six people. |

Are you planning to use it on freshwater lakes and rivers or saltwater? Are you thinking something like a ski boat or more like a fishing boat, or a pontoon boat? Aluminum or fiberglass? How fast would you like to be able to go? |

What you should look for is one of these three. Boston Whaler 13 to 17 Ft Mako 17 Ft to 21 Ft Carolina Skiff 15 to 17 Ft but even the longer ones. Self bailing is a big advantade in rough water. Look at the used boats . Hobby used to make a 15 ft that was fun but I haven’t seen one since the 80s |
