I went from a cramped 1988 Grumman CC 16.5 footer to the 2005 FM196 with a 115 merc 4S, and a 9.9 kicker, which to me is like fishing in my living room. I love it. I tow it with a toyota highlander no problem. It's a big water boat set-up for trolling with 4DR's and dipseys.. On Oneida its a little clumsy with the high sides if you want to sit down and jig (nothing beats a casting platform), but when the waves kick-up you will be glad you have it. Anything newer than mine should have a 150hp or more. as a reference, I paid 18K (Loaded), May, 2019

RKP, also look at the other sites, ie, Lake Erie United, and Lake Champlain United, which is where i found my FM196 2 years ago from a recommendation from someone on this site. Good luck. https://www.lakeerieunited.com/walleye/forum/14-classifieds-buy-sell-trade-or-rent/ https://www.lakechamplainunited.com/forums/ Tom

Last Spring I decided to replace the floor in my Grumman CC 16 footer, 1988. (it sold on this site last May) After taking the battery and tank out from under the splashwell, I noticed that the transome was very soft. There was about 10" of exposed wood and you could scrap it away like it it was wet cardboard. After removing the motor , and transome trim, it was apparent how bad the decay was. I removed all of the original transome and made a new one from 3-layers of 1/2" marine grade plywood. So be sure to stick your head under the splashwell and poke around with a screwdriver to look for soft wood.

Sunday morning, found 2 dumb ones to bite on the wire dipsie with lime green echip flasher out in 300tf, set at 330 feet. nothing on the riggers. That is from 6:30 to 12:30. The first one hit at 10:00 and the last at high noon, go figure. It was a great day to be on the water. -

I have a 16 footer CC. I am almost always the smallest boat out there. I watch the wave reports (weatherunderground.com) and if it's 2 foot or less your are fine to go out. I was out in 3 footers 2 weeks ago, its a little uncomfortable but still safe enough. You have to know your boats limitations and watch for changing conditions.
