Post 1648 with 35hp question
Not quite sure what motor I want yet, but I do want a 35 hp. Regardless, would a 35 hp be to much motor for a 1648?

No such thing as too much

Not at all, I probably have one if the lightest boats made, 1648 weld bilt and I just got stage 1 done on my 35 gtr and I am happy with it. The boat may porpoise, I guess it depends on the hull but if so that is an easy fix.

Get the most HP you can afford- you will use it.

Well when I called and talked to the grumby lady on the phone she said she wouldn't even sell me a 35 and she wasn't sure if she would sell me a 27 cause the boats rated for a 25hp from factory.

Love my setup! I went from a 23 to a 35 and would do it again without hesitation.

Thanks fellas. And Giga I've been looking at the 1848 also, but the only thing I feel like it being 2 foot longer the boat will cause problems when I run the timber.
