I have tried searching some but getting real comparisons are difficult as niether boat is listed as a model carried at Defiance on their website. My question or what I'm curious is what does your capacity plate read on your 15 and 16 Arima models? I'm Not particular on model but am curious if the ratings have changed over time and if there is much difference in capacity between the two sizes or if different models have different capacity ratings? Say a sprinter vs Hunter, or sea chaser vs explorer, etc? Thanks for any info.

Here's a couple picture capacity stickers I have, which I'm assuming you want to see?
The first one is off of my 1996 SC16
The second was is a new 2000's model Sea Explore 16. I requested a SC16 sticker and was sent a SE16 sticker, didn't noticed it till I after I put it on, oh well.
Didn't look like much changed.

Thanks for the responses, that answers part of my question. Now I'm curious as to Hunter/sprinter vs sea chaser/explorer? Anyone out there with a 15 that can chime in? Are both 15/16 sizes about the same capacity but with the 16 you have a slightly bigger boat and touch more room?

I can't answer those questions. But I have one of my own. I am trying to figure out what your user name is all about? Somehow I doubt it's the Cardi B song.  Russ, DO NOT google it. I don't want to be blamed for any cardiac events.  :wink:
