I have a 1542 Tims Custom all weld flat that currently has a 25hp longtail on it. I am looking to go to a surface drive, and was thinking of going in the 23-27 hp range. After talking to some boat vendors at the sportsman show they seem to think that I would be able to use a 35hp SD. I do want reverse and power trim so that will add a few pounds. Looking at Mudbuddy or Gatortail. The boat has a 4' aluminum deck in the front with dry storage that also holds the fuel tank. Other than that it is just aluminum flooring. I have hydroturf in it, and gatorglide on the bottom. My question is : Is it safe to put that large of a motor on this size boat? Has anyone done this and had good results out of the combo? Or am I dumb for thinking that a motor that size might work? I understand that I could add floatation pods on the back if the motor adds too much weight. I tried to upload a picture of the boat but it wasn't working. |
