[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 115521, member: 1159"] Both should be great hulls, go with the better price. As far as engines, I think you will be dissapointed with a 15 or 20 hp on these hulls. I run an 18hp on a 1440 mv and get around 25 mph max without a load and 20mph with. Put that same engine on a 1648 and I doubt I would get 20mph with just me in the boat. With a load, you would barely plane off. Go with a 25 hp min. If you can find a Johnson or Yamaha 2 stroke 30hp, that would be the ticket. [/QUOTE]
