I am taking a 1971 19' Mako hull and converting it to a crab boat.
I have determined that the hull is 1400lbs. The gas tank and bad flooring have been removed. I will glass in a bait well where the gas tank was and use a portable tank in the rear. The console is being relocated all the way to the starboard side of the boat to work trot lines. Installing a raw water wash down and one starting battery. New running lights and rod holders and step treads. All new flooring with non skid. Bow rail left off to accommodate a line puller. My question is this. I will run a 4-stroke Yamaha as I need to idle down to run the trot line. Will a 50 or 60 hp 4-stroke push this hull on plane to 25mph.
