What manufacturer has the widest front deck space on an 18ft boat? The reason that I ask is that I want seating for two upfront (crappie fishing)

I'm not looking to race in the thing, just wanted a rough idea. Thanks!

Actually, I just bought a 16ft Hull without the motor, and already have an old 15HP Evinrude in the garage. I'd rather use what I have for now. It's mostly going to be fished with myself and one other person. I plan on using it for short runs, less than 5 miles out on creeks and calm waters. I...

How fast do you guys think that a 15HP 2 Stroke early 90's Evinrude can push a 16ft Deep V Lund?

Any of you guys need a fishing partner this summer / fall ? I've lived in the area all my life, but haven't fished lots of the launches on the Upper Potomac. I'd love to join one of you guys and check it out some time. I don't have an outboard jet, but I do have a 16ft Xpress with a prop and...

Your boat is looking very nice, very good work. I am using the Du-Bro holders on my boat and really like it. I own an old 15ft Fisher Marine Water Rover and love it. Mine is setup with the crappie seating and I left it that way. It's old and not so pretty, but very functional. I have to agree...

The model that I am looking at is a 1991 - Model TE40ELEIA

I found a re-built early 90's 40HP Evinrude (2 stroke) motor that I maybe purchasing. Is anyone familiar with this motor? From what I understand most people say to stay away from the late 90's models, is this a good motor? Any feedback on what to look for and differences in models would be...

The motor is a 1984 I'll post some pictures when I have some time.

Helping a buddy look into re-powering his boat with a 40HP What would be a good manufacturer to look into for this? It's going on a 16ft boat. Preferably something that will get him good miles per gallon and on the lighter side. Been looking at Evinrude E-techs and comparing them to...

Hello, I have a 15HP which currently setup as a tiller steer. I use it on an old 15ft Fisher Marine, which has a panfish seating layout, and I'm considering stick steer. Is my motor compatible with the remote controls to make stick steering possible? If so, does anyone happen to know what...

I have an old 1984 2 stroke johnson, and I am looking to set it up with power tilt and trim. Can anyone recommend a good make / model to use for this type of motor? I've been looking at https://www.bobsmachine.com/Clamp-on-motor-tilt-and-trim-Standard-Series-40HP-100-700000.htm Are there...

G3's have the fuel tank up front, the new Lowe Path Finders don't.

I have an 16 FT Xpress stick steer which fits lots of what you are describing. It's my first jet boat, and for what I do, I am happy with it for now. Personally, I prefer not having a console on this size boat. A console adds weight and takes up valuable space. I rarely fish alone, so space is...

Seems as though nobody around here owns this model boat :) I am actually considering it myself as an alternative to 1448 Alumacraft. Would be interested in any opinions.
