[QUOTE="arkansasnative, post: 139761, member: 2328"] if i use that formula or the one on the motors forum page it is saying i shouldnt be using more than a 6-7.5hp motor. that really doesnt seem like its gonna get my 14 footer up on plane very easily... i have also tossed around the idea of adding bracing or a knee brace to the transom to stiffen everything up but im not quite sure how id go about that. the ribs are steel so i imagine i could run a piece of tube metal from the rib/brace on the back of the rear bench to the transom.
