Im pulling the trigger before Christmas (Merry Christmas to me) and getting a new jon boat. My local Tracker dealer has a 15 ft. 42 inch wide with livewell for $1100 plus the price of the trailer. Or I could go with the 1448 for about the same money but get it in the 48" instead of the 42" like on the 15 footer. Would it be better for modifying to have a 14 ft. boat 6 inches wider or a 15 ft. boat 6 inches less wide. I want to deck the front. Put carpet in the bottom. Not a huge amount of additional add ons but enough to make it comfortable. Opinions?? Thanks! 8)
