alright so my 14v project is pretty much finished. i never seem to get a chance to fish alone so space to move around and extra stability with 2 people moving around is a must.. and this boat just isnt gonna cut it, maybe wouldnt be as bad if i wasnt so top heavy :?
been pricing out some New tins and ive got my eyes on the 1542 tracker topper (riveted). i already have a nice trailer that i got with a 16' glass parts boat, so it seems logical for the price to go ahead and buy a new boat. i didnt realise they were so affordable
so i guess my question is how much more stability am i gonna feel on this 1542 FLATbottom compared to my 14v? ive only fished 1 flatbottom it was a 32-36" floor and i didnt even try to stand up (first time in a boat years ago)
defnately gonna have a bowmount trolling motor and id like to be able to move around at will without going swimming. i just tested my 14v boat today with the new trolling motor and its doable from the front deck but it would be sketchy in wind or with a partner, if it makes a difference the deck would be no higher than the front bench, would have the motor elevated
one last question, anybody know about the "livewell" thats built in? is it just a sealed bench with a plug? or a gravity fill of sorts?
