We had an orkney longliner they are 16ft a bit short most say you need at least a 17ft for esturies the sea etc, but we did ok with ours never had a problem.

we now use a 14ft will 14ft 6 acctualy nordic boat similar to the longliner slightly narower slightly less stable perhaps but again its ok.

outboards well i like yamahas and ols seagulls ,. not for any real reason other than ive always been a yamaha motorcycle fan, so go with their outboards too, seem pretty good.

as for the seagulls well not really big enough but they are reliable and work with the tide a bit or as a back up they are good enough.

Have a look at Highlander family fisherman, can be handled by 1 person if required, can be picked up 2nd hand for reasonable price, they also quite often do show deals on new.

Thats just the kind of thing im after,going to get in touch with them on Tuesday.
