Hi,<br /><br />I currently have a 19 foot Boston Whaler and am looking hard at upgrading to a Maritime Skiff 23' Patriot this Autumn. Does anyone have this boat? What kind of power do you have on the back? While the boat is self bailing, will water come in normally through the scuppers if you have a heavy motor on the back? <br /><br />Im ideally looking at upping to a 23 foot with a honda 225 4 stroke. Oh... and I boat in Barnegat Bay NJ, and out of the Manasquan inlet. Thanks for any insight you may give.<br /><br />Sal
