[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 203742, member: 4585"] Welcome to Tinboats. A nice 1448 or bigger would be great for you. The wider boat will be a little more stable with your young son in the boat and give you a little more room to work with. I have an Alumacraft 1542 from Academy Sports and I like it. While not as wide as the 1448 its a foot longer and that helps with stability too. Tracker makes a 1542 as well. a 20 or 25hp will move you right along pretty good in a boat that size. The problem is that there are not too many people that want to let go of boats that size on craigslist. all I ever see are 1236, and 1436. [/QUOTE]
