[QUOTE="Doug Merry, post: 456602, member: 24019"] Hello I just purchased my first boat this week as I’d like to take my wife and 3 kids to a few 10 hp restricted lakes close to my home. My father never took me fishing and I don’t want my children to be able to say the same. Earlier this week I bought a 1648 alumacraft boat with a 9.9 hp yamaha 4 stoke, and 2 days later I found another boat close by, which is an alumacraft 1448 loaded with a side steering console and a 2 stroke 9.9 Tohatsu. My question which I haven’t been able to find any info on is the 16’ boat harder, easier, or about the same to plane? I’ve only driven the 16’ boat so far and it took a while to get it to plane. I didn’t know if the 14’ would be easier or not. Also would it be better to modify the yamaha to steer and sell the Tohatsu as a tiller or just sell the yamaha? My plan was to keep the best off both boats and trailers and then sell the other one. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
