Looks as though Alweld now makes an 1856 Stick Steer with a mod-v

Just my 2cents, but you can minimize somewhat the rough, wet ride with a 16 to 17 ft boat vs the smaller 14 ft size because most are much wider and deeper than the smaller counter part. Mine has a large live well seat in the middle with full length rod lockers down each side and there is plenty of room on either side to walk to the back or front. I try to plan my launch as close as possible to where I plan to fish if there is a chance of bad weather. Even so, you will get caught every now and then bucking the waves.
My dream boat was one of the Royal Stick Steer fiber glass boats made in Alabama, but out of my budget unfortunately.

Sold I'm going to buy a 16' + stick steer used boat would buy new but my CPA and IRS has postpone buying new for awhile but maybe someday I will have the option of making a decision between Alweldboats and Royal Boats.
A great big big THANKS to everyone that posted.

I have a Dura Craft 1648 stick steer with a 40hp Johnson with trim & tilt. It's a 98 model that was made in Delhi and I love it. The trim is important to keeping me dry running across the lake and it has a livewell under each seat along with an aerated shiner bucket for each seat also.

Yes sir I would sale it. I don't think you could afford it on account it would have to be sold with the wife and you sure don't want to take up payments on her.
Mine was called a "Suburban". I have nothing in between the seats on mine, sorta wish it did have on livewell and storage under the seats.
