Have you thought about the 27. I'm running one on a 1644 Weld-Craft getting 21.5 unloaded and about 18 with 2 people and frogging gear. Personally, after looking at all the other longtail set-ups on this site, it seems from the 23 on up push about the same speeds. Looks like all you're gaining is low-end torque by raising the horsepower. I was thinking about the 35 also at the beginning but got the 27 and haven't been disappointed yet.

Yeah, but look how skinny that hull is. They say longer and narrow is faster but dayyum, 16 x 32 or 38? You need some flotation.
