I would obviously want a bigger boat but cost, storage (which adds to cost) and tow ability is why I was looking at the 150 SS. I could buy some other crappy brand 17-19 foot boat but its not a Whaler. Ill have to research more and ask around to see who has one and how it worked for them. Many spots out on the water here in NJ you can actually get off the boat. You can beach up near a pop up island or go to places where you tie up and can swim and stand in the water. So going out on the boat with 4 people does not mean for me that we are all stuck on the actual boat the entire time from when you leave the marina to when you come back.

I know the 150 SS says 1200 pounds weight with motor and fuel, but how much does the trailer add to the towing weight. Will a 1500 pound towing capacity vehicle not be enough to pull a 150 SS or 150 Montauk?
