Re: what motor can i run on a 14'48 weldcraft or 14'53 homemade? Man you will probably have to demo a couple on your boat. Generally speaking I wouldn;t want less than a 16' boat with a big block briggs.

Re: what motor can i run on a 14'48 weldcraft or 14'53 homemade? Had a 15/48 with a 23gdsd great with one person and LIGHT load, more than that its like pushing the water ahead of you rather than running across it. Needed more boat rather than more Horse's

I have a 1546 allwelded with a 24 hp hyperdrive. runs good only draw back is how heavy the motor is on that small of a boat.

Re: what motor can i run on a 14'48 weldcraft or 14'53 homemade? I run a 1542 Geaux flat and have had it GPSed at 25.8 in deep water with 23 MB Mini. It was real choppy water that day so it could probably get out another half MPH in calm water.
Don't know in shallow water. Hard to find in southern Minnesota!
