Mine feels more stable than other boats that I have owned. The next size up, the PRO GUIDE™ V-165 WT has a 8'1" beam at just over $25,500.Thanks for the info Hue, that is what I expected and I believe that is why I had such a hard time finding a boat that had at least a 90" beam. I think most boat manufacturers don't make them that wide in their standard 16' model. I think the boat I got had to be ordered special but it could be that every manufacture does it different. That was going to be my next question, how much they cost, thanks for sharing that info. So 7'4"=88" beam and the 8'1"=97" beam, that is amazing the beam is 11" wider and the boat is only 6" longer.
When Ira bought his boat from the cabela's in Nebraska years ago the price was $14k, locally boats that size were going for 20k or more depending on the model. That taught me a lesson, if I ever by a boat new, don't buy it in Utah, they are cheaper to the East.
