[QUOTE="CW5, post: 282950, member: 9934"] Hello- first post! I've been fishing for many years with my canoe and I'm getting tired of the limitations, especially going upstream on the Delaware River here in PA. So I am looking at a package from a local marina so me and my kids can do more fishing. Here is what I am thinking: G3 1648 or 1652 with a Yamaha 25HP outboard. I never bought a boat before (except the canoe) so I am looking for opinions on this combination. Will the 25hp be big enough? What kind of speed would I get? I'm not very concerned about top speed, but I do want to get up on plane and be able to move a maximum of 4 people. What are the pros/cons of a v-bow vs square bow? The area of the Delaware where I plan on using this can get quite shallow (18" or so). Anyone know the limitations on draft for this boat and motor? I'm pretty sure a jet drive is out of my budget.
