pigsnatcher,
Thanks for the reply. Your post leaves with with some questions that may seem silly but here they are.
Ideally I would want a 16ft + boat that is wide and deep w/ plenty of motor on the back. Keep in mind you will be putting a lot of weight in it.
On a 18' boat what is considered wide? is 60" wide, or am I looking for something 72" wide.
Let's assume I find a boat that is 18' x 72" wide, how much motor would you want on it?
I have found some 18' boats with a 75hp Mercury, is that enough motor for the weight I will be running?
Is a welded boat better than a riveted boat?
