[QUOTE="Callmecaptain, post: 405363, member: 17992"] Hey Gp, Boats shrink as soon as they hit the water :) Meaning, that if you're going to fish 3 guys out of it, swinging lures, etc. 16' is the smallest I would go. I have a 12v 54lb Minn Kota on my 17' Tunnel Jon and it moves it just fine. But since you won't have a big motor or gas tanks, I would go with a 24v trolling motor so you can scoot around quicker, it will be there when you need it and its not that much more $$. Another idea is that you if you go with the 1648, you could also get a used jet outboard and put it on when you do want to hit that river or what have you. Cheers bud. [/QUOTE]
