OK looking to get this on the water. Its not a drag boat or a ski boat. Its a floating platform that I can fish from ASAP anyday any time.
I see newer 16 ft alum boats like trackers and lowe boats running 25hp motors that have similar hull configurations and weights. They seem to scoot around ok with 2 adults and 2 kids. So why does everybody push for bigger motors like 50-75 hp motors?
Will a 25 HP 4 stroke work? I know its not going to be a rocket but when I go fishing Im in no hurry to get anywhere. 20 25 mph is fine for me. I troll and chase the birds on the lake.
thanks
