hiya Terry get the 105 iso i got mine brand new in Dram just this year so easy to jibe and since you'll be in flat water it'll teach you better..all around board not so super fast but it'll hang with the best..i believe the 101 is newer but look being new doesn't mean it's better..nice range on the former and since i went backwards instead of forwards cuz of bank balance i think i earned lotsa 'interest' on what i paid for
