I had 2 lead acid batteries that I took out every winter an put in heater building those batteries lasted 7 years.i have not done that since because I fish all year but I never get that much life out of batteries leaving them out
my 14-60 is 60 in at beam if your boat is 58 in then it would also be stable. i was talking about a 14-48 not being stable,which is a 2ft diff,but as long as we aer happy with what we have is all that matters.
stick steers are nice drive from front were u fish. imo 48in boats are not stable enough for older or heavy people. i had 1,now i have a 14-60 lot of difference.good luck
