    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Not intending to resurrect an old topic, but yesterday my boat hit 20 across some cold, choppy water! :-D It has been an absolute nightmare, but it's finally solved; more or less. The shop that I purchased everything from won't be getting any more business from me. In mid-July after talking...

    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Another update, just because I'm irritated. When I spoke on the phone to the owner of the shop on Saturday, they told me they would personally be calling me back to see what they could do today. Hadn't got a call and they were closing soon, so I called. Owner had already left. Probably the...

    Gypsy, you are correct. The boat is not set up properly, being a longshaft and not nearly enough power for its weight. I'd wager that my boat without anyone in it probably weighs about as much as yours with the ATV. Add to that a prop trying to push all that weight with not enough power behind...

    My oblivious professional assessment is that they made it 17.5" so that I would unknowingly make myself miserable and confused. Can't uh... can't see any other reason. Maybe so I could have one more adult pop before accidentally tipping off the back of the boat?

    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Was supposed to get a call back on Monday about trading my 15 in on a shortshaft 25. Finally called today to see what the holdup was. They apparently cant trade outboards even if I pay the difference in cash because of the financing. Which is fine. Until I asked what the difference was, and...

    The Grizzlies I believe are all Mod-V hulls. The 1448's are for sure.

    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Mr. Giggles, you are correct and I am thinking too much. :roll: Transoms probably more like 16" vertically. The shop I bought everything from does have two 2015 Mercury 25s in stock, an EH and an ELH. The short shaft is a touch cheaper, I'm supposed to hear back from the sales manager today...

    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Thanks for all the input so far guys! The boat in that youtube video is my hull, yeah. I ran one battery in the front and one battery in the rear, and have a couple other things in the boat he doesn't. And he had the right motor idea haha. The reason I ended up not going with the short shaft...

    New Grizzly 1448 and '21 Merc 15hp Won't Plane?

    Hi all, new to the forums and after doing some searching and coming up with conflicting/inconclusive answers I figured I might as well just state my problem and see if I can get some advice. Weekend before last I picked up a '19 Grizzly 1448 with a trailer and a '21 Merc 15 EFI longshaft...
