Hi 50-50,
I live in Eagle River but guide over on the Chippewa Flowage. I run a 161/2' Lowe. It is a good size boat but still light weight. It was perfect for the boat landings you will encounter in the Eagle River area. I have a 50 Merc on the boat which is maxx for that boat. Alone I reach 36MPH and with two clients can reach 30 MPH. There is no carpet but rather I have a rubber floor. Easy to keep clean. Just hose it out. very quiet too. Very wide and has two huge lockable rod lockers. Three pedestal seats so there is lots of room. I had a glass boat when I first moved here 22 years ago. Found the glass boats to be too heavy to launch at a lot of boat landings. Thay are smooth and I do like them, but found a lighter weight aluminum that handles excellent and was more practical for the area. Hope this helps you in your decision. If you have any more questions just ask.
