[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 373323, member: 12925"] I run an 1860 flat bottom, the boat in my sig. If you are going with an outboard I would go max hp and keep it light. The wide bottom will put it on plane faster and keep it on plane a bit longer than a narrower bottom, but will run a bit slower than the narrower bottoms. I would try running it without the add-ons first and then decide if you want to add them. A tunnel will provide some protection to the shoe, but will also increase the draft adding the need for float pods. The tunnel also must be designed correctly to feed the pump, so research extensively before cutting. [/QUOTE]
