Do you think a 25hp ProDrive will get an 18x52 on plane OK? I have the chance to get the boat but can't afford to get a bigger motor for a bit.

Mud hull or an alweld type? Might do okay with just you in it, wouldn't expect much out of a load

What QnS said. Would depend on hull. I wouldn't plan on going anywhere fast, especially with a load. Spend the extra coin on a bigger motor. Even my un-modded 36 was pretty slow, IMO, under load.

Hahah I'm at work and they block youtube, but I just watched the video on my phone. Sorry that was no help at all. I believe 'no balls' is an accurate assessment.
