Post Size of motor recommendation
I have a 16 x 40" skiff 1/8 with 3/16 transom
I want to know what size gator tail to get
Will the 35 be too much or go with the 25

And sorry if I posted this in the wrong spot I have no idea how to work this I am trying to figure this out.

Thanks in advance

Get a tall transom if you don't have one, and a 35 no questions asked!

Thanks guys
Will accept your advice and roll with it

I have a 17" transom and already planned to add to a 21"

Once I get it I'll let y'all know how it runs.
