Both are good rigs, I went with the Lowe Stinger 175 . It to has 3 pedestal bases up front. Two adults can fish up front with no issues. It rides good I have a 2 stroke 75 hp Merc on mine it tops out at 40-42 mph It may run faster with a 70 hp Yamaha 4 stroke as the 75 is the same size as a 115 . I looked at the Predator but the price was to steep for me. If you want more than a 75 hp you'll have to go to a Stinger 195 they are rated for 115 . I went with the 175 as the lake I fish has a 75 hp limit and I wanted to be at max hp. That's my 2 cents, The 17 ft G3 is also a good rig and under rated same side by side set up . Take your tape measure and your largest fishing buddy and check them all out. Good luck and good fishing
