Hello All,
I have been reading several of your posts and have decided to take on a challenge of my own. My father in law is offering me either one of his two boats. They are both from auctions and have never received much TLC. The choice is between a 14-48 Ouachita or a 16-48 Monarch. The monarch has had all the seats removed and measures 74" across the top and 49" across the existing floor. I am up in the air on which boat to choose. They both have their pro's and con's but after looking at your pictures anything is possible. I have never owned a boat before, so I am not sure if 16' is too much of a boat. I plan to use the boat for bass, crappie, and catfish. All advice is appreciated. I have attached a few pictures of each boat. Also I can switch the motors around, 15 hp Johnson, or a 20 hp Mercury.
