[QUOTE="Rick James, post: 140048, member: 3092"] Why a 40hp motor on such a little boat? You do realize that WOT will likely flip that boat completely over? Even if you could get it on plane without flipping, it would probably do 60+ mph? Also, the weight of the decking and motor alone will likely get you to the maximum weight without even putting a person in it...... Also, your front deck you may want to reconsider on a 12' boat. The 12' Trackers I'm aware of are only 32" wide and are going to be tippy in the front without a deck. If you decking to the gunwhale or top of the seat, if you accidentaly sneeze you will probably end up in the drink. [/QUOTE]
