I tend to agree with much of what has been said. I would still encourage you to look at something wider than 48". Trust me, I know. I've had two of them. First time, I was clueless. Second time, just stupid. I'll never own another one that narrow though. Too unstable and too deep of a draft. Adding the extra 2' will help but probably not enough to get your ass end on step in a short distance once you have a heavy motor, battery, and fuel in back plus yourself. You really have to be honest about your applications as well. MM's are designed and work well for running very shallow water and mud/veggies. The hulls they work best on don't perform well in open water with rough conditions. I see people buy MM's all the time because they think they're cool and because they think they're the great white duckhunters. The reality is they're the great white DH's but it ain't duckhunters.
Anyway, I digress. Do you REALLY need a MM or will a hull such as a Mod V with an outboard and jackplate serve you better? That's what I run now because my hunting applications changed when I moved. I can run faster, safer, and have more versatility with a regular outboard on a jackplate and really haven't lost much in terms of access to areas that guys with MM's can only go. Be honest with yourself and your desired applications so you only have to buy once rather than buy, sell, buy, sell, etc like some of us.
