35hdr on it now. Started with a 27 longtail. Got 18mph with the lt and bumps 30 with the hdr topped out. Handles great. Doesn't slide and takes turns at full throttle no problem. Hunt a lot by myself with my dog. Sometimes one other. Handles a hunt load no problem. Runs mid 20s when I have a hunting buddy and load. I'm not on big water at all. Mostly stay in a protected marsh and tidal river. Has 21 sides, 21 standard transom.

Here's a vid running it. You'll see in the vid, it has a bounce at full speed.

Butternut has a 1644 with a modded prodrive. Seems to handle well and last I heard he still liked it.

The extra length always helps in many ways :lol: Ole stumpy runs a 20x42 skiff all over the place. Pro drive and a 60 Enduro. He has no complaints.
