How much motor per pound?
I have ordered a new aluminum boat for catfishing and am not interested in
200HP motors or getting 25 miles down the lake in 30 minutes. I would like the hull to plane out and not feel sluggish under power. The new boat will weigh 500 lbs. and perhaps 1000 to 1200 less motor when loaded. I would like to put a 25HP on it but am afraid that's a little light. I notice that some similar boat packages have 25s on them. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks -- Dave |
