I have a 1993 16 ' Tide Craft with a 115 evenrude. I am a pretty big fellow, 6'3" and 350 lbs. My boat belonged to my father in law who passed away a coupe of years ago, and I was able to buy it from my brother in law. It is sentimental and has only been in the water 4 times.
With my "portly" size it leans and can't get it up on plane without scaring the bejesus out of me and then the steering becomes an issue. I have seen fisherman bigger than me in 16' bassboats. Is it the way the boat is made or do I just need a bigger boat???
I really love this website and all of you helpfull folks that don't beat up the new guys or gals
Thank you,
Dingo Dan
