re: Carolina Skiff Help

I recently got a Duracraft 1660 Center Console. It was used, from 2001, but I got a steal of a deal. After taking it in the water about a dozen times now, the one feature that stands out about it time and time again is how wide it is (60"). Extremely stable and spacious for a 16'4" boat. Two people can jump up and down on the bow or stern decks simultaneously and the boat barely rocks. We fish 3 people consistently with no issues. Also, the slight V on the bow makes it surprisingly dry in a little chop.
I don't have much experience with Carolina Skiff,and I'm not sure what their widths are at various lengths, but if you're looking for a 16'ish boat I would recommend looking for width. It makes a huge difference IMO
