[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 401856, member: 13702"] By the USCG's sizing calculation a flat bottomed 1436 with a 15" transom will be rated for no more than 15hp. These boats are designed to be lightweight. Add all that lumber and you defeat the P.O.U. of a small aluminum boat. You can use www.NADAguides.com and look up outboard motors to search around and find the lightest motor for the size you're looking for. In the 20-25hp range you're looking @ 100-105 lbs for either a Mercury/Mariner, Yamaha or Tohatsu, but an evinrude will run ~120lbs. Consider you've probably got 200lbs of decking in there already plus your weight & your gear...all adds up fast in a small boat. [/QUOTE]
