[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 109831, member: 1159"] Yes, that evinrude is a very reliable, tough & easy to work on motor. My only comment on the rig is that 15hp on a 1542 is a little low on HP. It will probably plane without a heavy load but dont expect much speed. Other than that probably a good rig. I run an 18hp on my 1440 (rated for 20) and would not want any less. BTW: It has a 42" bottom width & 62" beam, based on the current Alumacraft specs: [url]https://alumacraft.com/jon-boats/1542.php[/url] [/QUOTE]
