Got an .80 gauge 1648 that is rated for a 40hp. Will it hold a 35GT, not a GTR, (even thought there isn't much difference in the lbs.)? I am also concerned about the bow bouncing up and down because the boat is light and then water also coming over the transom at times. I posted a topic like this a while back, but then I was looking at the 23's but I thought I would just put alittle more money with it and get a bigger one because thats what everyone says do because you will always want more motor... Replies are appreciated... |

Better stay out of the stumps and timber. You'll be selling it for scrap in no time. |

A 35gt or gtr would make the boat bounce alot unless you put trim tabs on it and a good bit of weigth in the front.I have a 17X44 1/8 thick charles lenard skiff with a 35 gtr and gas tank in front.but when the tank starts getting low on gas it starts bounceing a little. |

Pods properly fabricated on your boat will solve both of those problems. |

I had a 35 GT on a 1448 .80 guage... i had to put trim tabs on it but that was it... i just welded a 4"x2" tab on each side of the stern at the bottom and bent them down just a little bit... and it stopped the bouncing.. I have done the same with a 16x48... and Im having to do the same now with a 17x48.. |
