i've got an aluminum 16' '65 viking semi-v jon boat. its about 5 ft. wide which is really nice. i can easily handle 3 people and a dog. personal camo job, reeds and leafs and shadows. i think it looks pretty good. homemade blind also. my dad does the whole 18' war eagle with the 4 stroke yamaha deal, but im fresh out of college so im pretty pleased with my setup.
