I'm not a mb troll btw. This was a serious question. I had a 14x48 with a 35mb and was happy with it. I've never came across a gator tail or pro drive so I have nothing to go by you know?

Well I got some pretty healthy friends if you know what I mean lol so I want it to be stable plus I do a lot of bow fishing and prefer to be wide.

 Re: Getting a 16x60 built how we'll will a mb 5500 mag push
if you havent started the build yet i would consider stepping up to a 17-18' w/ huntdeck and you can stay 60" wide if thats what you want. those bigger motors run better on a longer boat.

I would definitely go with the 18 foot and a huntdeck. You will love, everyday that you got the extra 3.5 feet over a 16 footer.
The extra floor space alone and not having the feeling of being crowded is worth the money.

 Re: Getting a 16x60 built how we'll will a mb 5500 mag push
I had a 16x60 GD at one time and once I did a few mods to the motor the boat would porpoise really bad without a load in it. Id suggest an 18x60 to help with that. Just something to think about.

I just swapped up to a 16-54 gt extreme with a 35 gtr. It will run 31 in deep water with 2 folks. Just has a mikuni and exhaust for now. Heads to be done soon.
