[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 371074, member: 12925"] As far as hp limits go, mine has none. I ordered it as a Commercial rated hull from Alweld in 2002, so anything I put on it is legal. Only downside is it has no flotation in it at all. It is an 1860 with a 250 Pro XS. With 24 gallons of fuel, 3 batteries, trolling motor and whatever I load in it, it drafts between 8-10 inches. On plane it will run in 2 inches and pushes it to 50. I think Alwelds' 1856 and 1860 hulls are rated at 150/105 which should run great for your needs and still be legal. It should push it about 40, maybe a little more. If you go with a jet, get the max rated hp. You can order an Alweld or Blazer custom built to your specs. They build the hull to your specs and your dealer finishes it out with rigging the motor, carpet, seats, etc. You can also order the hull and finish it out yourself. Each dealer has their own unique build style, so shop around till you find one you like and are comfortable with. Another one you might be interested in would be a Legend SS, check out Seth's boat on here, https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=34679#p355181, it is an 1860 semi-v with a 150 e-tec. If you have any questions ask away. [/QUOTE]
