River jet Boat size question

[Sako1]

I have a 1652 SeaArk conventional hull and I mostly go out by myself and it's very manageable byself getting it on/off the trailer, and perfect for two. Depending on the fishing style, 3 would likely be ok.

Consider when you go from 16ft to 18ft you'll need a bigger, heavier and more expensive motor. My 1652 will get up to plane nicely with the 9.9 honda I have on it for RV and really moves in the salt with the 25.

My only regret with my SeaArk is that I didn't buy it sooner; very well made and designed.
