Steven,

I have used a sniper 10 for about ten years on the lower Thames. It's a good choice. The main benefit is that it is very light for the size, and possible for one person to manhandle easily -even to use on a roof-rack. The main disadvantage is that it is not very robust and if you drag it around on shingle you will hole the hull and it will end up waterlogged and heavy.

I have 4hp petrol and minn-kota outboards for it

Cheers


John
