[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 370496, member: 7376"] As said, the only thing the big foot's are good for is pushing a HEAVY displacement style hull, like a sail boat kicker, or a kicker on a bay style boat or the like. All others should be using a regular foot a.k.a non bigfoot. Go with the 14 unless you need the extra real estate, but be aware that some states have more regulations with relationship to 16' and longer boats than shorter than 16'. Like here, if over 16' you must carry a throwable PFD, must have a horn, must carry a fire extinguisher, etc. If the boat were shorter than 15' (as defined by the laws here, 15'6" or shorter), then you don't have to carry those items. And they can take up space which can be an issue. One way around that stuff is to get as wide a boat as you can get. I had a guy bring in a 1460 a while back for me to do some work on the motor and I could not believe the amount of space inside! I don't know who made the boat, but I sure did like it. 1448 is a common size and a good combination of width and length. [/QUOTE]
