So I have 1983 35 horse Evinrude with the Q pump on a riveted 1975 1644 MonArk. Pushes it with me 25 to 27mph with manual trim set all the way down. It will push 4 adults up river low 20s and run ankle deep. But my hull is aged and I am really considering ordering a pretty bare 1648 blazer SS I know it will be heavier I was just wondering if anyone might have any input on a ball park weight of one. Even if I can only haul my wife and 2 boys I’d be tickled to just have a nice hull. I plan to run stick steer to keep it open and light. Then when the opportunity comes I would like to have a 40 to 50 2 cylinders omc on it. I’ve already ran this little 35 horse in a worse configuration on a gutted 1984 StarCraft ski boat and still got around but only ran 18 mph. So I think I could make it happen. Been reading this form decided to join after I seen all the input members get from other members. I appreciate any thoughts. I also enjoy boat talk so more reason to join. Lol
