[QUOTE="thill, post: 493714, member: 4972"] War Eagle boats are very heavily built. What HP was on the boat you rode in? From what I have seen, 15 will probably barely move a War Eagle. A friend got a 16 or 17-footer, and it has a 90 on the back, and I think it's rated for a 125. Very heavily built. You may want to check the specs on the model you are looking for. I would think a 40 would be minimum for the one I've seen. War Eagles are expensive, but if you really want one, and can find one in your price range, putt around with your 15 for a while, and then upgrade motors when the budget allows. But there are a number of other boats with open floor plans. Crestliner makes a number of them. I'm working on one right now. Princecraft, Lowe and Tracker also make open floor boats, and their prices will likely be much more affordable. You can probably buy the boat with motor for the same price. [/QUOTE]
