I have an 1860 made of all 1/8" aluminum and has 5 longitudinal braces and 17 braces running cross the boat on 1ft centers.and then a second floor covering it all up. I feel like it is gonna take a huge motor to push my boat. It weighs almost 1100lbs with no hunting gear or motor. What does yalls boats weigh, what motor do y'all have and how fast are they? I seen review on speeds but not many of them say what the boats weigh. Thanks for any info. |

Dat will take quite some hp. Ain't gonna be bad if ya ain't pushin mud but of ya gotta go through some shit, get some big hp. I run a 550 lb hull wit a 27 kohler ta get ya an idea a weight ta power. Obviously ya always wish ya had more. |

Yeah I would like to get a gtr for the reverse but on there website you can't order them already modded, or can you? And would the reverse even do that well on a boat that big and heavy? I do have a winch if the reverse don't get me out. I know mb offers the modded motors from the factory like the bps 6000 and 7000. |
