Fatih -
You could always rig up something yourself. It may not be as aesthetically pleasing as a cabin cruiser, but it would meet your requirements.
In other words, you could make shift a shade area and or a privacy area using aluminum poles or pvc piping, etc. You could make it complicated or keep it simple. Look to tarps/tents/poles/piping for materials to utilize when fabricating your own. In this way you could have a simple 12 to 14 foot jon boat that provides you with protection from Mother Nature, be it full time or part time when you need it.

Engine size has a role to play in your mileage also. The smaller the engine, the harder it may have to work. Hard work equals more fuel.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Nice looking boat, Fatih!!!
What size motor will you be putting on it?
And of course all boats have names, do you have one in mind for yours?

If I was you, I would go to someone and have them add a temperature gauge to your transmission, especially if it is an automatic. The transmission can get too hot even tho the engine temp isn't too hot.

Scott, I stand corrected! The video wouldn't play for me earlier and the one I Googled had an outboard. I like the boat (reminds me of the SS Minnow  ), but personally I wouldn't pull that thing with anything less than a 3/4 ton truck. I just can't imagine a 4 cyl being able to handle it. But then again I'm often wrong

Looks like you could fly fish off the bow. Also looks like you could spend a few days on that one with no problem! Unless the wife wants you home, of course. Get her and tuna fishing, then you could all have a blast.

Guys, i cancelled the order. This is a huge boat. Not good for towing. And there were lots of procedures for such big boats. I decided on something smaller. Much better huh? Little more expensive though. 50 HP Yamaha outboard i will use this one. Cim, this is one of my plans... Hopefully.

How much do you think such a boat would cost there(brandnew) ?
Here , is is 7,500 grand. Your boats are much more expensive than ours, i think. Your cars are very cheap.

What is the max hp rating on the boat that you are looking at now?
I don't know if a 50 hp would get it up on plane with it loaded with people and gear?
How big is that boat in the picture? (length, beam and height)
What does it weigh (without motor)?

Scott, this machine will fly with a 50 HP man. I know it is a small engine for you Americans but don't forget that we pay 3 times of what you pay for gas.
Length : 16.1
Weight : 880 lbs
Height: I forgot but something like 6 ft
Beam: No idea

Fatih, from the picture I was thinking it would be 18"-20' long and a lot more weight. I think you should be OK with the 50, what is the maximum HP rating for the boat?

Fatih,
IMO You chose wisely Grasshopper! The boat looks great and, IMO, you should be able to tow it ok.

Nice boat Fatih, I love the toilet option. I have never owned a boat with a head before, seems quite luxurious to this country gal. Enjoy, and do share her name, Keith is right, she must have a name.

Well, in keeping with the salt water theme in naming things, lets throw names out there.
My contribution is Wahoo!!

A name? I never thought about this. But something with "Tuna" would be great. "Tuna's Inheritance" ? Sounds very nice. What else could be ?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Congrats on all this new life changing stuff.
Some of my best childhood memories with my Dad resulted from him buying a boat.

Fatih, it was a name proposal.
BTW, Not many guys can afford a new baby and a boat. Both are cash eaters.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Tuna Torque
Tuna Tales
Tuna's Tub
Once we get it narrowed down, someone can probably photoshop some graphic layouts on a picture of the boat's transom so Fatih can see what it might look like.
