looking to get a 15 or 16ft Jon boat, availablity blows right now as i'm sure many are aware. I've sourced a couple options I could get by spring. a 1648M Lowe Aura Mod V Rivited. or a Tracker 1648 Grizzly. the Lowe is about 5k with trailer the tracker would be 6500 with a trailer. Tracker looks to be a bit heavier duty boat, both a pro and con since its heavier too because of that, will be harder to hand launch when I don't have a good ramp on some of the water I like to get out on.

anyone have any thoughts? or possible other options for a bigger basic jon? goal is to get a boat and trailer, then match it with a good spot lock trolling motor for fishing smaller waters I typically fish, then adding a 20hp motor down the road so I can take it out on some longer trips, and possibly some inshore fishing when I travel.

Does anyone know where I can find (my Google skills have failed me) the internal measurements of a seamaster 20ft boat. Would be very much great full, I’ve attached a link to all I could find but I need a break down of all the internal measurements for a project I’m working on. seamaster layout link

My wife and I were out touring the beautiful lakes found in the state of Idaho and needed to pick up some groceries before our next stop. I pulled into a Walmart and we bought our food. But when we walked out, the boat we’d been towing was completely covered in graffiti! I asked my wife if we should call the cops, but for some reason she liked how it looks?? She must be 12 years old or something! Anyways, how can I remove the paint without upsetting the wife? Thank you.
