hello,

I have a seahawk 4. i made a flimsy transom and i own a 30 lbs thrust MinnKota motor. it runs great, but not fast. so i was planning on making a floor and possibly a keel. through this process i would also reinforce the transom. So my question is, will i get in touble if i overpower it? it is rated for 18 kg, but i expect that it is rated on the transom given by Intex. If i remade a better transom, could i buy a Mercury 4 hp 4 stroke and get on plane? probably not, but i would like to know before i save all my money and buy a better boat.

Thanks,
Liam

That boat cannot plane. The trolling motor you have is perfect for it.
