I love my next. I use it as my second boat. my main boat is a Feel Free Lure 13.5 but I take out my next nearly as much as my big boat. I take it to the smaller waters and rivers that have limited access. I've carried it a half mile and still had plenty of gas left in the tank for the day of fishing and the carry back to the truck. It's my short trip to the secluded fishing spot boat.
