[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 244061, member: 5461"] I've had both sizes, and they are both nice. Obviously the extra length is nice, but the layout can also make a big difference in fishability. My 1448 was a tiller and the 1648 had a side console. I fished three guys out of each boat, and the 1448 was better because the middle guy could fish out both sides without stumbling over the console. With that said, given the choice of a 1448 and a 1648 with the same layout, I'd get the 1648 hands down! Boats look really big in the driveway, but they shrink fast when you put them on a lake. Of course, storage issues and cost might keep you in the smaller boat, which would be fine too. Oh, and I used the same trolling motor on both boats .... the difference wasn't really noticeable. Slow is slow :) [/QUOTE]
