good morning fellas my first post here so if in the wrong sub forum mods please move to where this ? will get the most responses. anywho, I'm in the market for a 16' stable,wide fishing boat for me and my (2) sons ages 13 and 7 so standing up bass fishing is a must therefore my future boats #1 attribute must be stability and toughness are a must due to the skinny water and stumpy places I will be fishing. I've narrowed my brand choices to alweld and alumacraft. I like the price,which I'd like to keep at $12k or below, for a alweld 1648 vv marsh with pro package and 25hp Yamaha on it. but, will the 48" wide boat be stable enough for 2 boys walking around plus me? I like the alumacraft 165 prowler camo but that's above my $12k limit to approx. $14k with only a 25hp engine. y'all please advise. I've got a few months to mull all the details over and haven't even went a put hands on boats yet but wanted to get my ducks in a row online first.
thanks,
Big Ed
