[QUOTE="stevesecotec02, post: 348475, member: 11617"] When you say 1457 im assuming the beam is 57" so tje floor is 36". If so the 9.9 should do plenty and i wouldnt go bigger than a 15hp 2 stroke. A fourstroke that size is just too **** heavy on a small boat. Those transom braces look like overkill to me and probably add 20lbs to the transom. Maybe you could leave livewell and fill it with ice to be used as a cooler. The bow stop roller is useless on a flatbottom get a piece of 2x4 for the bow to.rest against. Good luck and have fun with your build. [/QUOTE]
