Re: 16x50 PolarCraft What Motor? I ran an Alumacraft Waterfowler (16 X 50) for a couple years with a 36PD, it ran pretty damn good, but that transom definately did not like what was sitting on it. Way too much weight for a non-braced transom...

Re: 16x50 PolarCraft What Motor? I had a 16' Polar Kraft and it was all my 48 Evinrude wanted.
31 on the GPS.
I would def go big HP on it.
