I have a 23 MB Mini, I have a broke hull 17ft long 46 wide square chine to start with to make a build, this is first small block and 90 percent of the time I am by myself. The question being on length 14ft, 15ft, 16ft or 17ft long. Any buddy have experience with something close any input, thoughts, or opinions will help.
Thanks

Have a 23gd a bit modded on a 1648 tracker grizzly.
I know it's not a flat bottom.
But besides that I think the boat is too big for the engine. (Under powered)
I think it would be fastest on a 14. That is if u are going to be solo.
By myself my boat can hit 25. But soon as u add more people it starts to go down.
Small light boat is great if u do end up getting it stuck.
17ft way too long IMO.
