Deciding which boat to go look at first over the other. Kinda stuck in which one to choose over the other to see first.

BOAT A
16' Monark $650 no motor

BOAT B

Two feet bigger no motor or two feet shorter and a motor.

What you guys think? Which would you want to look at first? also location doesnt do me much favors one is 1 hr 45mins North east the other is 2 hrs plus north west. Is one boat known to be better than the other? Or they about the same in quality. I see more RichLines on this site for sure though.

My first thought is see the bigger boat, i can always grab a motor later would like a 15+ hp personally. Thanks for help guys!
 
Yeah they both come with the trailer, just one has a motor and one doesn't and the length difference between the two.

My first instinct was to pursue the longer boat :) Can't complain about more room.

I am making plans to meet the 16' boat and trailer after work today. Got a little road trip ahead of me. Gentry is 1 hr and 45 mins away.
 
I think I'd go for the longer boat. My boat is a 14 and I really like it a lot, but there are times when I wish I had bought a 16.
 
Funny in Arkansas you have to have a title on the trailer, but not on the boat. And its just the opposite in OK. The boat does have the Hull ID so i can get a new title in here on OK.
 
Go for the 16ft, that seems to be a good price. Then get a nice 30hp elec start for it. Here in IL (most corrupt state in union) we have to register / license the trailer and get certification for boat. Both are taxed (even if 20 years old) at the 6.75% rate by IL Dept of Rev (gotta love it). Wonder what it will be like when the state goes bankrupt over pension obligations and unpaid bills? :roll:
 
Yup got it all setup to see the 16' boat tonight! Heading out after work to Gentry AR. Gotta grab a 1 7/8" ball just incase :)
 
I have a 16' and was looking at 14' one when I was shopping. I'm happy with my 16' & at times I wish it was 18' and I fish by myself most of the time.

Short story go for the 16'

Good luck tonight let us all know how it went.
 
You know i came across some posts about the Force motors nothing positive thats for sure.
