No shorter than 14 and try to go at least 42 wide, maybe 36 A 16x40 is a good boat. |

Lt's run best with a long narrow boat. but less than 42" is not recommended just for stability. i like my 1438. i used to run a 12 upgraded quickly for the extra room. very hard to hunt out of a 12 and its still a pretty sketchy drive with an 11 hp lt. 1448 maybe skinnier, or longer would be good imo |

The 1442 I have plows with two people and 4 dozen deeks... My next boat will prolly be a 17x42 The longer/bigger your boat is the more area you can displace weight making it faster with a load. |

I've got a 1648 with a front deck and a 13hp LT with a 8x5 prop and with me and another guy I'm guessing I MIGHT get 10mph...... She's slow. Never ran it empty but she plows a lot of water. |
