I came to realize that the advantages far outweighed the rough ride, so I decided to buy another stick steer.
I ran across an almost new 16' Weldcraft with a 50 Tohatsu motor. This hull has a more pronounced V-hull and to my surprise and delight this boat is much, much smoother in a chop.
First time I put it in the water the wind was up to near white capping. Running just on plane around 22-24MPH it was very smooth and not at all uncomfortable.
So I would strongly urge you to give these a look. Admittedly, this was a blind luck for me. I just liked the boat and the price was good,especially with only 15 hours on the boat.
They are reasonably priced new, $15K brand new with 40HP 4 stroke + TM etc. so one a few years old is very reasonable.I

Thank you so much Searay. I very much appreciate your advice. The reason I was wanting to get a Quachita is because it does also handle rough water great. I will tho keep your advice in mind. Thank you and GOD Bless.
Another that closely resembles the One you like is a thunderbird. Fished out of a friends, we did very well and always got home safe
I just looked at the Weldcraft web site and they do NOT make the stick steering now
There's more than one manufacturer using similar names. My insurance guy ran into the same thing.
Here's the site for my boat.
Weld-Craft ALUMINUM Specialty Boats
Mine is the 1648 V Stick
Here's a new one listed by dealer. It has a 40 instead of a 50 and doesn't have some options mine has but basically the same rig.
2019-1648 Stick Steer 40 Tohatsu Wesco Gal. Trailer - boats - by dealer - marine sale
Thank you so much SeaRay. That worked. Boat looks great and a fair price.
Ragfly, I have a buddy with one. I believe it is around 14'. He has taken the motor off of it. I can check with him if you are interested in one without the motor. This is the Quachita with the trough down the side. Would you like me to see if he would sell?
