[QUOTE="Doug Merry, post: 456620, member: 24019"] Thanks for the repsonse. Both boats are riveted alumacraftboats with 48” bottoms. I was just going to put the console on the boat that would plane better. I figured the 14’ would be a little lighter, however the 16’ being longer might be easier to get out of the water??? I picked up the 14’ boat today and to make things even more complicated is that it’s not a 1448 flat bottom like I thought but is a 1448 semi v Hull. So now I’m even more confused. I just want to keep the better of the two boats. As far as the 5 people capacity which is rated for both boats, well my 3 children are all under the age of six. I’m not looking to keep all 5 of us forever in it, but it’s a good place to start and there small enough to not affect it that much. Thanks again for the response. [/QUOTE]
