[QUOTE="cork, post: 455212, member: 22349"] I have a 1856 Alweld. 115/80 Optimax. TH marine 5 in motor extension. Motor weighs 378 lbs. 2 group 27 batteries and a 14 gal. fuel tank in rear of boat. My console is way up front to offset the weight. 1/4 inch diamond plate floor thats pretty heavy. The boat performs perfectly. Planes well, no cavitation at all. No issue with steering. It drafts 12-13 inches at rest with 2 adults. I am adding pods for this reason. Hoping to gain 4in. of draft. I will add this boat is a 1992 and spent its life on the upper Mississippi, N Illinois. After a total redo by me, boat is as good as brand new. Awesome hull. [/QUOTE]
