[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 10603, member: 55"] I too voted the 1654, but you would probably be just fine with the 1548. Lake Lanier is a big lake, and you do not want to be out there in a flat bottom. On the flip side, a 16 foot vee is a lot of boat for a 15 horse. And, on a large lake like Lanier, and Hartwell, a 14 foot vee is going to seem a tad small. The mod vee will give you jon like stability at rest, but will take bigger water a lot better. One of the best boat designs in my opinion. (that is the reason most tourney aluminum bass rigs are mod vees on steroids) A 15 or 16 foot mod v will still be a dog with the 15 horse, but I feel that you would be happiest with it. I fish with a dog of a boat right now (you see 3 various sized boats, and 7 outboards in my sig, but only one boat is water ready, and even then, it is underpowered, and uncompleted) and it works just fine on Allatoona. BTW, where do you live? I live in Cartersville, and fish Allatoona mostly, but once the Alumacraft is complete (if that ever happens - free time is nonexistant) we will head around to Lanier, and Oconee from time to time.
