[QUOTE="snook, post: 259998, member: 8611"] I'm new on this site and I was hopping to get some advice, My garage is 17'3" deep, I'm looking to buy a 14 or 15' Alumacraft with a 25 HP Etec for my power, I'm going to be using it in some very shallow water where I have to get out and pull the boat over shallow rocky waters, should I buy the 14' MV 1448 Riveted boat with a flat floor or a 15' MV 1546 AW welded boat with a flat floor, my concern is the welded boat weighs 320# plus the floor compared to 250# plus the floor, I'm worried the heavier boat is going to draw more water that may make it harder for me to get to my spots. Will the riveted hull end up leaking on me pulling it over the rocks? Steve [/QUOTE]
