[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 187626, member: 1417"] I just looked at 4 manufacturer's sites for beam width. It looks like if you want to squeeze through the boat pass you're going to have to get either a 36" or 40" bottom width. Every one of the 48" boats had a beam of 70" or greater. It also looks like most of the smaller boats in the 36" and 40" widths are riveted and usually not a mod v. Mostly they also won't take a 25hp motor. One nice boat is the Alumacraft Crappie Jon. It is a 1442 with a beam of 64" and a side height of 20" with a 15" transom - it's max hp is 15. It would be nice to give yourself a few inches through the boat pass so the waves don't bang you against the walls (don't run through with your hand on the gunnel!). Anyway, here's the url to the crappie boat... [url]https://www.alumacraft.com/2011-models/crappies/crappie-jon/#info[/url] [/QUOTE]
