I have a 1448MV. 1st motor was a 72 25hp tiller johnny, no fun. Then jumped up to a 76 40hp tiller johnny, started to get a smile. Added a cmc pt135 TnT with set back, then prop limitations. I did like the balance of the boat with the big twin, so I obtained a 81 50hp console steer johnny...

^^^^^^^^^^^^ +1 Keep it local! My worthless $.02 opinion, From past experience, substituting for cheaper after market parts has burned me. Paying more for OEM quality replacement parts that leaves you with a reliable turn key piece is well worth it.

Disagree with ya, that 25hp is perfect. My 14/32 with a 72 Johny 25, modified of coarse. What I did not like about the combo was to narrow and felt way to tipsy for me walking around. I step up to a 14/48 MV, no looking back. Nice catch. Fix it up, use it. If your not happy you will not...

caught, brought to shore for a photo shoot; dayme, that must be one heel of a live well he has on board.

All I can say is; what octane of fuel and what oil you use?? Nothing like a good shot of two stroke smoke when you use the good stuff. Then again I'm pretty partial of any good quality spent fuel :D smells

not ment for a plug,,,but; I have bought several sets from tire rack. I do work with in 2 miles of them and I find it very convenient. I have purchased tires from tire rack and had them mounted and balanced at discount tire because I do not want to wait for them to be ordered from discount and...

uhm,,, maybe hot water?? maybe a pic would help,, unless it is not forum safe.

It sounds like you are just anchoring the battery box, that leaves the battery free to bounce around. Guess I have been doing it wrong. I tie down the battery in the box, and then use the strap to hold the lid on.

Go for it. Just a few thoughts to ponder: recommend the motorcycle safety course, never hurts for the skill set refreshment. Dress for the crash, not the ride. GEAR, GEAR, GEAR, GEAR!! There are a lot of distractions for cage'rs now days when on the highways, that raises the odds of being bit...

oh, forgot to mention I do have a portable bilge pump that I can use to fill or drain the live well if I choose not to mess with the drain plug and fill pump.

on my jon, my gravity live well has a threaded drain, or fill however you look at it. I have a pump with removable base (snaps together and a part very easy) screw base in drain hole. I use that to file the live well quickly and to circulate the water. Have spry nozzle on top. I also have a...

I ran an 76 40hp johnny non through hub exhaust on a CMC PT-130 trim unit. It was a little finicky with trimming up. They just do not like the height that a through hub exhaust will run. Water pressure gauge kept telling me to lower. Barrel run, I notice it was a little sensitive on the water...

most states require a venting system so there is no build up of fumes

linehand on here has a 1989 16ft. Very nice boat. PM him or send him an e-mail. I am sure he will be able to answer some of your questions.

So far the aftermarket fast and cheap parts has made for some UN-reliable outings. Keep your money local and purchase factory replacement parts. Support your local dealer and you will find they will support you.

Is the 55hp a tripple or twin, what year? Reason for asking is the prop hub diameter/prop diameter size. What angle is the motor when trimmed fully down? A picture would help. I have a cmc pt-130 on my 1448 MV jon with a modified 50 (twin)small hub prop. Found the optimal spot with anti-vent...

1448 6 gal tank that is usually never full. I get great gas mileage, trolling motor doesn't use much gas :)

post when you have quit. Each day, each hr,.....post when your are a quitter! I am a quitter! Good Luck!!!

Your motor is too low, I would raise it and go from there. Do you have a jack plate? 40 to 50mph is a big number for a tin and a big gap on max mph. What prop are you using? Where at on the Ohio you located?
