Your boat made up your mind for you, 23. I think the 37 would be fun to drive in the summer with a light load but in the winter with duck hunting gear ? I think the 23 would be much safer in the dark with a full load. Plus you get the pull start and ability to crank and run with out a battery. |

Have to agree with 139.. 37 would be nice just for the extra power to play with, but from a functionality standpoint, the 23 is your best option. Just out of curiosity, bb means brother breaux? |

37 would fly. But I'll reiterate what the others have said, the 23 is the motor you need for your current boat. |

I'm sure that BB hull is stout and the 35 could serve for mud drag racing but for real world duck hunting and safety, the 23 is a great match, weight-wise and power-wise. I started with a 1436 jon and used an 18 HP GD LT and it worked but was lucky not to have sunk it, very little freeboard. I have to figure with a full hunting load and say three hunters, that 1636 would be a liability. The 23, with its power production, many after market mods, and recoil start is a great motor in both a longtail and shortail platform- look at those Copperhead 23's and the test tuns with those beefy Phowler 44" wide hulls, they are quite impressive. |
