I'm looking at buying a john boat. One is a 1648 and the other is a 1456 for the same price $3000. The 1648 comes with a 25hp and the 1456 comes with a 15hp. Do I go with a longer boat or more width for stability when standing to fish? Mainly just me but sometimes my 6yo comes out with me.
I'm new to boating and want to get something that I can take my family out on the water with to fish. Since I am new to boating, I don't want to spend a ton of money and get in over my head. That's why I'm thinking about purchasing a used Jon boat. I saw this posted in my area and was wondering...
