[QUOTE="overboard, post: 420432, member: 6547"] 1448's are pretty stable, but from what you are describing I think I would look at least a 16 or maybe a 17' flat bottom boat with the widest bottom I could find. I have a 1654 FB Tracker "GRIZZLEY" and it's very stable, Lowe makes a 1655 Big River Roughneck, and some of the 17's have a 60" bottom. Depends on what you want to spend, and maybe a 16 or 17 is just too big for your application, but bigger is better in some cases. I think most would agree, a 16' boat is not too big for 2 guys and gear. You can always buy the 1448, and if not suitable sell it. I've fished out of 1448's with 2 guys, and IMO I think you would be satisfied with it. [/QUOTE]
