The smell of 3 and 1 oil brings back the memory of my bb guns and 22 as a pre-teen.

I think it would for me. I have a 1448(hull weight 285) that does great with a 15 merc. But some folks would want a 75hp on it. Just depends on who you are. I think it would plane ok.

How is the maximum rated power determined? In response to a mandate from Congress contained in the Federal Boating Safety Act of 1971 (FBSA), the United States Coast Guard issued regulations covering small outboard boats and the maximum rated horsepower for them. The regulations bind the...

I just bought a new 1448 just like yours only have a 15 merc ( tiller ). My total investment with troller and battery is $3600. With your 25 bigfoot and console 4800 t0 4900 should be spot on.

Ahha Thanks Gramps now I know how to build a mount to put my electric on. Looks good
