Good Morning,
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm in the process of seeking my first boat to run the Susquehanna. 90% of my time will be on the Susquehanna and the other on local lakes. I will probably have 2-3 people total at any point in time out on the boat. Here are my questions about my purchase.
1. Am I correct in thinking I don't want anything smaller than a 16'?
2. I've narrowed down to three boats.
2014 Lowe Roughneck 1756 SC with a 40hp jet
2011 G3 1860cc 65hp jet
2005 G3 1652cc 30hp jet (significantly less $)
3. Should I be concerned about the hp output of any of the engines listed above?
4. Would the roughneck and the 1860 be larger boats than I would need? I fish once a week during the season.
I sincerely appreciate any incite and I look forward to returning the favor!
