[QUOTE="Neil Toland, post: 442127, member: 434"] I am considering a custom plate boat with roughly the following specs: 17' length 60" bottom 24" sides 80"beam 12 degree dead rise .190 thick aluminum sides & bottom Coast Guard bow Expecting to power with a 70HP Yamaha TILLER. Sizing this for garage fit as well as fishability. But having previously owned a plate boat - 1654 flat bottom - the ride was extremely rough, and, we got soaked from the spray. Guess I am just looking for thoughts, suggestions or advise. Boat will be primarily used on the Mississippi Rivers pools 16,17,18 but also Missouri River system lakes and Great Lakes (provided decent weather conditions of course). I love the durability of a heavy gauge boat but do not want the wet and pounding ride I have experienced on the 1654. [/QUOTE]
