i am building a 13 hp LT and i am thinking of using the tracker topper jon boat im just not sure whether to use the 12 foot model or the 14 foot one the 12 has a 46 beam with a 32 inch bottom the 14 foot has a 53 beam with a 36 inch bottom the difference in wait is only 8 pounds so just curious for handling and speed which one would be better... anything would help preciate it guys

I have a 1436 lil jon with a 16 godevil and I get 16.2 with fishing gear

16X44 would best best IMO from the experience I have had with both 16 and 20 HP long tails...

alright im leaning towards the 14 foot how much you spose your boat weighs bayoublack?

200 if that its a old riveted hull , but If I was getting a new boat for it I would get a 1640 long.and narrow

id like a 16 but for the price of the 14 and its only 36 inches wide and it only weighs 113 so im hoping the weight to lenght is gunna make her roll right threw the water i aint never owned a LT before but thats what im guessin them toppers got a real short freeboard on em too you know anybody that runs that kinda boat

shorter boat more drag in the back longer boat less drag, id go longer maybe 16'. also id go 40'' on the bottom

woodie what kinda motor do you have is it production or homemade ? and what kinda speeds are you seeing on that boat also does the 13 have enoiugh balls to push through real sticky mud ?
