Good advice and I always pull out of everyone's way to get my boat ready to launch. Mistakes happen when folks rush. If you are new to loading and unloading a boat, just take your time and think about what you are doing. Before long, your loading and unloading routine will be second nature...

Well, I ended up going a different direction. Traded my 20hp Suzi in on a new boat with a 25hp Suzuki. 1542 tunnel flat bottom skiff w/hydraulic jack plate.

I pulled the trigger on a new boat a few days ago. It's a 1542 River Skiff SS Tunnel Hull by Xtreme Boats in Bonifay, FL. I maxed it out with a 25hp Suzuki and had them install a hydraulic jack plate. I have a Minn Kota Terrova remote trolling motor with I-Pilot on the way. Now to address...

Pulled the trigger on a new Xtreme Boats 1542 River Skiff Tunnel w/25hp Suzuki mounted on a hydraulic jack plate. Aluminum trailer pulls like it's not there. MinnKota Terrova 55 I-Pilot trolling motor is on the way and I should be set.

I wonder if a 1448 would be more stable than a 1546? The 1546 has 1.5 sq ft more bottom area. One issue with going much bigger than 1648 is finding a hull with a 15" transom. So far I haven't seen any other than possibly custom.

Lowe makes a Roughneck 1546 welded boat that might be sweet with a 20hp. If I drop down to 1448 size, how much stability will be lost? I want something stable with 2 people. I'm only 170 lbs, but I have a buddy that would probably be with me some. He's 260 lbs. I wish I had a feel for how...

As I said in a earlier post, I have a nearly new Suzuki 20hp EFI 4 stroke. It's a short shaft, so I need a 15" transom. I have found a Alumicraft MV1648 for $1850. I believe it's the model with a center seat (I'm gonna find out tomorrow). I'm also looking at the Lowe 1648M Aura. I could...

Nice! I bet you will like the seats. What do you use your boat for?

They are a little bit too far from me. The prices on their Alweld boats aren't bad. They seem high on Alumacraft. So far, I have found a new Alumacraft 1542 for $1250 and a new Alumacraft MV1648 for $1850. Not sure how stable the vee hull will be if I decked it. I'd really like to find a...

That's another issue I failed to mention in the original post. My Suzuki is a short shaft motor.

I actually have everything on an old 50's model 14' SealCraft tri-hull glass boat. It works well for just me, but not too sea worthy with two adults. I can't take any waves from the rear. :lol:

Hello all! New here from AL. I have a almost new Suzuki 20hp EFI motor and a Motor Guide foot controlled TM. I'm looking for a tin boat to put em on. It will be for crappie fishing on lakes. I'll want to deck it from mid seat forward with some storage and battery compartments underneath. I...
