I doubt that is going to run well on that size hull. You need to be at least 16' if not 18' for that size engine.

I run a 9x3 on my 16hp gdlt and a 9x6 on my 25 gdlt , I'm thinking you could run a 9x7 at the leastwith that many horses. My .02$

Just throwing this out there 38-45 hp on a 1448. How much does that motor weigh. Don't know if you have enough boat.
