I got a choice to make, 1644 or 1844
Of whats available in my area I have a 1644 or 1844 go devil boats. both have 20hp vanguard LT's on them. I know the conventional wisdom is to go for the longer boat but the 1644 has the split seat instead of the bench and I really dislike stepping over benches. I know the 1844 will carry the load better and I want to be able to take 3 men some times but I really dislike benches.
Any help would be great.

Get the 1844 and get the bench cut in half if it makes that big of a difference.

Sawzall and someone nearby that can weld a aluminum to close the now split bench back up. Don't go 2 ft shorter because you don't like a full bench. Trust us.

Ive owned both - 1644 and 1844 - get the 1844 it has better everything in terms of load carry - shallow operation - and as a bonus it works far better with the SDs too....

wait and find a 2044 with a split bench. lol
or get the 1844 and have a welder split the bench. don't get the 1644, you'll hate it over the 1844.

Got the 1844, I can get used to the bench. Pretty good deal on the package so I'm happy
