Most Jon boats of that length will have the extra seats, especially used ones.Quote:

I looked for a used 14’ open floor plan for months here in FL where there is no shortage of used Jon boats.
I ended up buying a new leftover Alweld bare boat from a dealer at a very good price.
Alweld does build the boat your looking for. It might pay to call them for a catalog and the name of the closest dealer.
Richard Genes boat is an Alweld, i believe 15x60 with the V front. But they make a square front also.
Richard said his Alweld was a 16' in one of his videos.
Common size for 16 footers is 48 inches wide and I remember seeing a 54 inch. 1860s is a common size also. If you’re looking for short and wide you might look up a used air boat hull also out
1656 is a common size. Best bet to buy one is from a duck hunter who is upgrading from a traditional welded hull to a performance duck boat like Havoc or Edge.
I have an Alweld catalog which is from last year, and the widest beam i see for a 16’ is 56” which is probably what Richards is.
That would be on the very bottom, not at deck level which is wider. I dont see 60” bottom width till 17’ on a few models.
Miine is 14’ with a 42” bottom width, but i put a plywood floor on top of the stringers and it is about 47” wide. Very little trimmed off of a full sheet in either length or width from front seat to rear seat, all open deck space.
So Richards would be over 60” wide on the deck.
Sea Ark has. 1660MV
1660 MVT - SeaArk Boats
1660 MV - SeaArk Boats
Man, I could ruin a budget at a sea ark dealership.
Those are some good looking boatsQuote:
