[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 92761, member: 751"] Yes,14 is the length and 32,36,48 is the floor width.Beam is the widest point on the hull and the beam can be located any where on the hull.I have asked and have been on lots of small boats.Earlier this year I got a chance to do a side by side comparison of sorts.We have a guy that whole sales jon boats.I took a walk around a 1442 and a 1436,both were decked.The 1442 was a lot more stable.I couldn't move much on the 1436.If I walked forward the motor would lift out of the water.If I walked to the edge it would come close to dipping a gunnel and rolling.The 1436 was an Alumacraft and the 1442 was a Tracker if I remember correctly.I am only 5' 8" and 190 pounds so I am not a real big guy but I'm not a light weight.Hope this anwsers some questions.I would go used.You stand a better chance of getting your money back if you ever have to sell.
