I had a 15'6" classic for years. Had an 18hp, with a full live well and 2 adults it would run 20mph. They are the best small water boat I have ever been in. They float in 4" of water.
They are the nost stable narrow boat in the world. They have a reverse chine that makes it so the farther you lean over the more the boat resists leaning over. I'm 230 lbs and I used to stand on the gunnel edge with a full load to show people how stable it was.
Great boat, you will love it.
Suggestions;
Get a tiller extention handle to allow you to sit in the middle when it is a little rough, the back seat can be a wet ride due to the entry point of the hull when on plane.
Did they solve the problem in the front of no where to mount an electric motor?
Have a Bimini made for it, mine cost $200 and was a real saver on hot sunny days.
