I have a 1438 monark Jon with a 13 hp homemade lt it does ok but I am wanting a little more go so I was wondering how a 18 or 23 Dixie mm would push it I usually carry 2 men about 250 each and a dozen deeks my lt will barely plane it out.

I would say man about as big as i would go woud be 18 hp longtail. if you thing you could lose about 4 more inches of freeboard then MAYBE a 23 lt. But That is my educated suggestion my friend go onto godevils website and they tell you on there motors what size boat there good for. but other than that i dont think you have a motor problem you have a boat problem, know what i mean. Bigger boat gets a bigger Mudder. good luck man hope this helps

Get a 23 if you want a 18
