Right now, I'm leaning towards a mudbuddy hd lite. I've seen a few people post up 1436s with 23s on them and it has me wondering, is there anything they are doing to these boats? i.e. extra transom support, pods, etc. Just seems like a lot of power for a little boat. I was figuring on going the 18hp route, but could I handle the 23? Also, anyone running a similar combo (either 18 or 23) that could post some speeds up? Thanks Derek

But I run 25 to 27 mph with my Weldbilt 17x42 and 27 GDSD and could only barely gain on him.... And he had a really big passenger and ran in spit that day...

I am pretty sure Sam told me his was an 18' I had a 1448 with a 23 lt for a few years. A couple times we slapped my buddies 23 sd on it and it ran like a bat outta hell one or two people in it. _________________ Sold my boat so now im ridin in a cozy pick-up truck to the blind to shoot ducks and a 60' Hatteras to catch fish on
