[QUOTE="user 7806, post: 265010, member: 7806"] Welcome to the forums, lots of info here & lots of cool helpful people too. When I started looking for my 1st boat not long ago I to was looking for 1448 because I had a 4 cly pickup/automatic to pull it with. I found out that a 16" doesn't weigh that much more so that expanded my options. I ended up buying a 1652 and have had no issues pulling it or getting it in or out of the water. I normally fish by myself but for 3 people unless they are really small I would suggest that you go with a 16' Mine has a little 20 hp Mercury that I will take off in the winter and put it in the garage or basement. My boat also sits out all the time and I bought a cover for it at Cabela's on sale for less than $100 and a separate cover for the motor at the local boat store. [/QUOTE]
