Striper fished out of the 16 1/2 foot model. Easy to set up for striper fishing with rod holders, downriggers, etc. Shallow draft so no problem on the river either. Plenty of room so if you keep your gear organized you have no problem walking around the boat while fighting a decent fish. Also had young kids on board from time to time (2-5 yr olds). High walls and very stable so no concern there. Like others said, its a rough ride in rough water.
