[QUOTE="sbm2240, post: 200365, member: 5698"] Got the floor in this weekend, see attached pictures. So front deck/storage and flooring is completed. Now just need to buld the back deck with storage. I need to add a front TM and gas engine. Any thoughts on the size of engine? Rated for up to 10HP. I'm torn between a 4-5HP motor with integral gas tank or a larger 8-10HP with external gas tank. I'm concerned about the weight difference, but also want to get from spot to spot on the lake as fast as possible. Would their be a significant difference in speed from 5 to 10HP? Or is it not enough to justify the added weight to the boat? Thanks guys! [/QUOTE]
