Tough choice..I would go with the wider boat.

Id tell the guy with the bigger boat you found one for 2400 and ask him if hed take it... Nothing wrong with a little white lie once in a while...

I've found bluebook to be useless when it comes to boats and motors. Just my two cents but I'd go with the Alumacraft. You'll be glad you have the 8 extra inches of width. It's a much bigger deal than you think for stability especially if you plan to deck it. If you're selling the motor, who cares if you make an extra $100 on one or the other. That extra $100 will be worthless if you kick youself in *** for not buying the wider boat down the road.

I wouldnt think 2x, I would get the 48 boat, I cant see you getting more than 1200 bux for the motor, which means you still have 1500 in the boat and trailer.. the 42" boat isnt worth 1500 IMO..

Get the 48". I don't understand though, why are you changing out motors on whichever one you choose?
