What's so heavy about your alumacraft isn't it .100 gauge aluminum most mud hulls are built outta .125 |

Ok im new to this stuff u can say im a green horn that needs help. I dont no the specs to my boat but can tell u with fuel in the back two battery in the back and in open water i cant even plane out. (speed less then 15 mph im guessing) i no that stuff needs to go to the front but dont have no room. like i said dont no much but when a 1436 jon boat with a 10hp go-devil long shaft can out run u and put u in the dust to me there is something wrong with that picture. But if thats normal well then ok but i dont think it is. |

WEll idk the width of your boat but I would say a longer boat would deffinely help something in the 18x40-42 range as Owen said in your other post. These boats run Better on a longer boat whoever told ya short an wide is best for a surface drive was mistaken. |

I would not go one inch shorter than 17 feet, and I would personally look at 44-48 inch wide boats. Then it will be the perfect size for when you upgrade motors. Not to mention perform right with the motor you have now. Sent using my bag phone |
