my final question. Would a 27hp prodrive do go on a 15 foot by 44 inches wide boat? The motor has manual trim and no reverse. I am running in South Louisiana in Golden Meadow. Just wondering if this would be a realible setup for me to duck hunt and do a little bit of fishing out of. |

whats the difference in this post: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29318 and the question you just asked? (Other than 2" of width). I am telling you, it will SUCK!!! on a 15 ft. boat. Look at the review Podcast wrote up. He had a 15 ft. with a 27 pd and it was a turd. He went to an 18 ft boat and now he's getting performance. If you put that motor on anything under 16 x44 (and thats not ideal), you will be kicking yourself. |

Okay guys I really appreciate the input, and I knew that 15x44 would suck. I have the oppurinty to buy a 16x60 for for it. Will it perform like good prodrive should? |

Depends on the condition of the hull, but yes it will perform better than a 14 or 15x48. |

The hull is almost in perfect condition. It is a slick bottom boat to, and all it needs is a new paint job. |

Buy it!! It's also big enough that if / when you decide to go to a bigger motor, you'll be able to without having to get a bigger boat. |
