thinking of getting a new boat built for bowfishing. how well would a stage 1 gtr push a 1770 .125 slickbottom, 6' front deck, 5' rear deck, 12'' catwalks, center console, and four grown men. don't need to set any speed records, usually less than a mile run before we start fishing and its trolling speed for 6-8 hours and a mile or two back to the ramp. i just want to be able to plane the boat out with a load. i know duals would be better but is it possible to get by with a single motor in my situation?

Or put a bigger pulley on bottom.
