Re: 1444 motor opinions I seen a guy on here a couple years ago ran a 25 gtr on a 1446 1/8 gauge aluminum skiff. I think it would work but wouldn't work great. Depends on if u hunt over hard bottom and what kind of load you will be carrying. Also it will work later if you desire to get a bigger boat

Re: 1444 motor opinions Get a 23 if you have to have one now. If not save your pennies for a new boat.
I ran a 23 mbsd on a 1442 for a little while and it worked but was not ideal. Then I saved up some money and got into the big blocks and big boats.

Re: 1444 motor opinions I ran a 23hp Backwater SWOMP on a 14x42 and was super happy with it. The 23hp class should serve you well - just be careful on swamping the rear end.
