| Post subject: | boat size help |
I am hopefully going to get a new prodigy boat soon. I'm trying to decide on what size to get. Will a bigger 1854 draft shallower than a smaller boat like 1648? I will have a hunt deck on that so basically 2054 or 1848. Running a spot a lot that is a shallow semi hard bottom and need a boat that will draft the best without tearing the prop up constantly. I would like to have the bigger boat for space and loading lots of gear and ppl. |

Then definitely get the 18x54 for hauling loads and it will draft less then a 48. Prodigy builds some awesome looking boats! What motor are you going with? |

Prodigy adds the HD the the length of their boats like GTrax? Hadn't heard that about them yet. This true Chad? |

I will be going with a MB 4500. I need the extra hp and a gator tail with the mods on it to push a 1854 just isn't in my budget right now. Saying all this, I HAVE to sell my boat first before I can get new one or I'm not getting a new boat at all. |

Our drop deck does not add length to the boat. A 1854 drop deck is 18 foot long......... a 1854 w a BD4500 is what I ran all season............31 w hunting load and my daughter and dog etc. Draft is very lil in our 1854................ https://www.facebook.com/Prodigyboats/p ... =3&theater |

So you the overall measurement as length instead of the fake transom like gator trax? Am I reading that right? Either way the boats look great |
