Asuming 2 guys and a little gear...probably 400lb max. Weight distributed properly. What would it take to make a Tracker 1436 plane? I'll even try to add a generic picture from the Tracker website.
Thanks

To the OP I have a 1436 it is rated for a 15 but plan to put a 20hp on it if I keep it. I have put the boat on plane with and old 9.5 with no problem.

The subject has been covered before. You guys need to put aside your animosity(I think that's the right word). If y'all could meet and go fishing sometime, I'd bet you could become friends. I understand both points of view. Extra power is nice. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. Weight on the transom would my main concern. Staying within the manufacturers' recomended limits, I think, is wise for such a small, light boat. For me, that's 15 hp. If a 10 horse will do that, like Mike and Paddler said, that's probably what I'll do. Um...Dave.....do you think a 10 horse would get my little jon on plane? I just want to cross the channel here 'quicker'.......and rowing into the wind is a real pita. But I don't want to row more weight than I have to. Rowing seems to be the only exercise that doesn't hurt my back and I've always LOVED being on the water. I really don't care if I even catch anything. It's just relaxing and I'M RETIRED!!!!! WOO HOO!!!
Thanks guys
