[QUOTE="earl60446, post: 246619, member: 4469"] CONS Here in IL, a 18ft boat costs more to title which is every 3 years than a 14ft boat. Trailer might cost more to title / license too 18ft is heavier than 14ft, especially if fiberglass, harder to tow 18ft needs bigger engine ($), uses more gas harder to store a 18ft boat vs 14ft might need a bigger hitch and/or vehicle PROS 18ft is wider / longer, more room 18ft is more stable, at least it should be, more seaworthy more people can go fishing with you carries more beer and fish!
