[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 482411, member: 12995"] Yeah, it seems like supplies of a lot of stuff is way down after covid this past year. So trying to find a specific item could be tough and $$$. I thought your current boat was a 17' model. I have a 1652 Lowe and I think it's the right size for me since I'm by myself most of the time. I could get away with a 15' if somebody made something in a 52-55" wide bottom but a 1548 starts to get a bit narrow for me (and I'm only 5'6" and 145 lbs). I can move my boat around by myself pretty easily (I'm a young 55 years old) and that's with the 60/45 motor on the back (if the river current is up or the wind is blowing it can be a handful to line up on the trailer though). I'm not a tiller guy, I prefer to stand at a forward console so it's easier to see what's going on. I'm not sure you're going to see a big difference going from a 17 to a 16 though. If you went to a 15 then you would notice it more. [/QUOTE]
