Re: Motor Help You really need to be more specific on terrain, loads, expected speeds?

Re: Motor Help Its a 40 hpsd muddy buddy..I live in FL so lots of vegetation, mud, shallow water...as far as loads I will probably have atleast two to three people in the boat when hunting but I'd like to be able to run as fast as that motor will carry me..

Re: Motor Help 18x50+ 18' is seems to be the best performer for load/speed. If you are flats fishing you may want to go a little wider.
