[QUOTE="Rumblejohn, post: 492549, member: 17653"] When I was in high school, my hunting buddy had a 12' Featherlite aluminum semi-V with 25hp Chrysler on it. The old Popular Mechanics magazines had an ad with a girl in a bikini hold one up with one hand. It was definitely a car top boat. When loaded with us (400 lbs), (400 lbs of dogs and gear) it was an interesting experience of the St. John's River at 3:00am. When you made a mildly sharp turn there was a 1-3 second delay of the bow banking after the stern. Needless to say it led a short unhappy life. My friend passed from cancer in 1988, but it was a miracle that either of us survived adolescence. My advice is a 9.8 or so will be fine as long as you are not too crazy with it. John [/QUOTE]
