[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 496523, member: 3438"] FWIW: I have a very similar boat. A 14' fishmaster. Max motor was 15hp, but forgot the capacity numbers. I wouldn't recommend stepping into the boat on to the rear bench with any motor on the transom. It is easy to put the corner under. This is the boat I ran the '63 10HP and '97 18HP on. I had a 6gal tank that was just infront of middle bench and group 29 battery just behind the front bench. That worked well. I tried the extended trottle handle operating from middle bench but couldn't get comfortable with it. Too far away from shift lever and to quickly raise onto motor into shallow mode. A camp neighbor has a similar boat and he always runs from middle bench. A little 5hp 4-stroke Merc, and planes it out easily. [/QUOTE]
