[QUOTE="Xnutty98, post: 513129, member: 35484"] Hey everyone. I picked up a 14 foot Starcraft Deep V yesterday. I was told by the seller and verified through my research that a 30HP would be ok on the boat. I got the boat home, put on my 2015 30HP Mercury and the trailer shot up in the air from the weight. I had to have my daughter stand in the front of the boat until I got 90 pounds worth of sandbags to keep it on the ground. My plan was to build the boat out a little. A floor, some hatches, seats, etc. It's pretty bare bones right now. My question is, is it even worth it to do that or is my motor just too big for the boat? I can always give it a paint job, fix it up a bit and make money on reselling it. But I really want it to work and I also want to be safe in it as well. What do you guys think? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
