[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 198948, member: 5461"] I also think the 1648 would be a good option. They are readily available and have lots of room. A 15HP would push it, but not very fast - which might be fine for you. With a couple big guys and gear in it, I'd guess minimum of 25hp to get up on plane and move at a decent clip. If you really want room, look into the Lowe 1652 (I think the same one linked above). It would give tons of stability and loads of space. A darn good boat! It might be hard to find a good used one though. As big as you are, I'd stick with a mod-V unless you can find a really wide and really deep V-hull. If you do go with a V-hull, search Craigslist for a late 80s or early 90s Bass Tracker V-hull. I really like those boats! [/QUOTE]
