[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 503265, member: 22613"] I had an Alumacraft 1448 with a 9.8 2 stroke. Decked to the middle bench, a single battery, and a bow mount trolling motor. It would plane with just me, but not two people. As I recall top speed was 15mph or so. I did eventually upgrade to a 25hp but got along okay with the 9.8 for a long time. The batteries are probably what is killing you. Why three? One group 29 was more than enough with my setup, including cranking the outboard. I had it mounted up front below deck, and had heavy gauge wire running to the rear. [/QUOTE]
