 1648 what motor set up?Hey guys I have a 1648 flat bottom and a 1648 mod v both with 20inch transoms. I have a 25hp motor and I was going to order a sd frame kit from MB. With that being said do I get the 27" or 32" drive? Also what would be a better hull to put it on? The flat or mod v? I'm new to the mm game so don't give me too much crap ha!

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Is MB selling frame kits? The last time I checked with them the answer was no. That was a while back though.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Heres a 1648 20" transom flat bottom, with a moded MB BD 45 pushing it. Runs pretty good, and hauls 5 people really well.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? That is posted everywhere on this site, but in short, the V bottom delivers turbulent water (or at least not flat) to the prop. These things by nature really need flat, smooth water to the prop to provide good thrust since half of it is out of the water.

1648 what motor set up? Hate to be "that guy" on this thread but what kind of load are you carrying? and what conditions are you running in? You may find out that that 25 sd might not be what your expecting speed and load carrying wise with that size of boat. Had a buddy that started with a 1648 with a 25 gtr, let's just say he's running a 45 mag now. Just my .02

Re: 1648 what motor set up? I'd put the 25 on that 1546 and roll with it. Should be a good little setup especially if you're planning on dumping it next year.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? You'd be SO Much better off finding an old beat up 35 whatever for about $3k. Throw it on the 1648 and go hunt.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Sounds like I'll use the 1546 with the 25 for now.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Probably doesn't matter, sounds like you'll do about the opposite of what everyone recommends anyway. Lol

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Just giving you shit dude. Everyone recommended the 35, and you're going with the 25. It'll be serviceable and get you thru for a season or two. You'll be alright. Good luck on the wedding.

Re: 1648 what motor set up? Just out of curiosity what are they going to charge you for just the frame for that 25?
