OK, I have a 14 HP Kohler to build a longtail. Eventually I want a 1648 mod v boat. Would this motor get it on plan with a couple guys in it? Figuring all duck hunting maybe an occasional fishing excursion. My real plan would involve building this first one, finding a 12' boat for it and sell that one to fund another build for the 1648. Any help appreciated, can't figure the search button very well.

14hp would be pretty week on a 1648

It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

yeah, I was thinking maybe that 22HP that people are using for the 1648, and using the 14HP for a smaller boat, just hoping I could get it to work for a bit and tryout.

I'm using the predator 670 on a longtail on a 1648 and I get 15mph loaded. Just for reference

It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

The truth is most of us started small and morphed bigger. I can understand affordable too. Go ahead and have fun and put that 14 HP on a 1436/1440 and run it for a couple of seasons. At most a two man rig, using caution. After that get a 1648 and the least motor I would use is a 23 HP LT. Hell, I've been trying for years to convince my wife I need as many duck boats as I have shotguns but she won't budge saying nay. There's been many a time I've wanted a 1436 again with maybe a 12 HP copperhead sd just for the easy handling and hideability of it.
