[QUOTE="nathanielrthomas, post: 196080, member: 1207"] A 1436 is a heck of a boat and will no doubt suit your needs, but you will really appreciate the extra with if you can find a 1440 or a 1442. I know 4-6" doesnt seem like much, but it is a very substantial increase in stability. A lot depends on how big of a guy you are too. Im 6'2" and 205, and a 1436 is a little too wobbly for my liking. I know smaller guys who say they fish a 1436 just fine though. If you plan on taking a buddy out with you, the extra width will definitely make a difference in the ability to move around(back to front, front to back) in the boat without getting in each others way, or feeling like you you may have to take a swim... Just my 2 cents If your gonna spend the money, get something youre gonna be happy with.
