I've been thinking of trying Fairhaven Bay myself, how long does it take to get there from the Rt20 ramp? I've got a 16ft Tracker with a 40hp. Are there any ramps closer to the bay? Any big obstructions in the river to be concerned about? Any info would be appreciated.

Have you checked the state website? Lots of good info on it. Are you close to Arlington, try Spy Pond. http://www.mass.gov/eea/agencies/dfg/dfw/hunting-fishing-wildlife-watching/fishing/

I would not recommend getting a smaller motor. I bought my Tracker back in 2002 and upgraded to a 40hp and glad I did, and often wish I went a little larger. I'd definitely look at V hulls if you will be in larger waters. They don't make my model anymore (Pro Angler V16) but it does good in choppy water and still can get in the shallows. You may want to see if there are any leftover 2015 models. When I bought mine I was able to get a leftover 2001 model with a 2002 motor and saved a little cash. Good luck.
