[QUOTE="Pector55, post: 468964, member: 25077"] Definitely makes sense and I could see how the porposing would make for some uncomfortable rides. The only boat I have ever had that could plane was my old Bass Tracker. It had a 25hp on it so sprayed the cover in a matte black and bought old decals in 20 so I could use it on my local lake with the 20hp limit. That boat was really heavy and I suspect it may have had water logged foam in it but she still got up to around 20-22. I'm used to just plowing along at 5-9 mph with my old jon and pontoon. :D The HP I end up with will depend on price point since I only actually hit that lake a couple times a year and it's just not that big. I just like the huge population of white perch in that lake (evasive) and I go at will to stock up for a fish fry. You find the school and do a 1-2 mph troll through them with a worm harness and pull them out left and right. I'm going to be doing the electric motors 90% of the time so I like your idea of balancing while idling. I really like your framing.. looks very sturdy and well done. [/QUOTE]
