[QUOTE="FloridaRebel01, post: 270337, member: 9211"] Just picked up a 1975 14' Eldocraft, been fixing some things and thanks to all the awesome info here on the boards i am nearing completion and a water test! It has no motor, this boat will be mainly for fishing and cruising, all of the areas it will be used are "no wake, slow speed" zones, So no need to get it on a plane. Total weight of persons + gear will be 550lbs, My question is, will one of the newer 4 stroke 2.5hp motors be ok for this? i know it will be slow, my concern is if wind comes up will i be able to get back. Thanks in advance for any info. [/QUOTE]
