Every time you get a real strong urge to buy a boat, book a charter instead. Guided on someone else's boat is a much more economical use of that money.

I'm guessing over 3 years later OP made his decision.
A little update. Daughter is now at college and will not be joining us much. I would like for it to still be an option. Son is older and loves to fish. Wife just wants to be on the water. I am thinking at this point a 14-16 foot jon boat. Most fishing will be in the smaller parts of the Flint as well as WMA type lakes. Im thinking 500 lbs if all four of us not counting tackle and cooler. Do I need like a 9.9 or a 100hp? Im assuming wider is better what is considered wider? Yes its three years later and I have not pulled the trigger.
16ft...25hp will push around 25mph ish loaded...Funny this was bumped. I am still on the look but Ive finally gotten around to seriously looking and listed other toys for sale.
Ive narrowed it down to 1448-16?? Jon boat with a 15-?? tiller steer or stick steer for the room. After talking with folks who fish the places we will this has been the general consensus. It will be two of us most of the time with a third when she can and a fourth would simply be going for a ride with little to no fishing. This will get us on the water and then we can decide how much we will use it and what we really need.
