Post Light rig recommendation
Looking for a recommendation for a light rig.

Most of the areas I hunt are 10hp and below... I run a 14hp motor on a 1432 and have never had local law enforcement bust my ass on it so its probably the most I could get away with.

Im looking to add at least 2 feet to the length and 6-8 inches to the width of the new hull.

It needs to be light due to occasionally getting pulled over small dikes/levees.

anyone recommend a builder?

Im located in the panhandle of Fla....

Thanks

Not necessarily longer but a nice light looking boat at 200 lbs. I'm looking to build a kevlar boat myself next year to get lighter and still have a strong hull.

I know the guy who builds those and they are great boats... just not what im looking for... I want to stay with an aluminum hull.

Cottonmouth might be exactly what im looking for... backwater 1540 with a huntdeck looks fairly light and should still run fast enough with the 14hp.
