| Post subject: | Black Death on 1652 Weldbilt |
I have a Weldbilt 1652 .100 gauge vbow flat bottom ribbed with float pods from Weldbilt on the boat. Looking at getting a Mud Buddy 44BD for the rig and was wondering if I'll be able to run full throttle without concerns. I want to get the most amount of power for the boat I can but I also want to be sure I'm not over-powering the hull. I understand that there are a lot of factors that will impact the performance of the motor and hull, I.E. weight, distribution of weight, water conditions, however I'm looking for input assuming 2 persons (weight 175 & 225) and an average load. The hull is rated for a 50hp tiller or an 80hp remote steer. Thanks in advance. |

Should run out fine. I,m running a BD 45 on a 1648 Riveted .72 ga. Alumacraft hull. I built in a 12 gal. tank behind front deck and moved rear bench seat 16" forward for better hull balance. Don't have pods. Boat is rated for 30HP. Hauls a load and carrys very good WOT speeds with a Hammer Prop. |

Those pods may cause you the most trouble initially because they will affect the water getting to the prop cleanly. After you cut those off, you'll be dealing with a washboard bottom that is hooked up from the horizontal bracing if you hit sand bars, stumps, etc. |

Big bend fortunately in Maryland we primarily have mud to deal with not a lot of stumps, timber, and or sand bars. |

Sounds like a true flat bottom hull will be your best friend when running just mud. |

Do some research on pods and a surface drive. |
