[QUOTE="GYPSY400, post: 274662, member: 8599"] A 15 HP should be able to plane out a 1442 with 1 person.. Not sure about this fiberglass floor you speak of though.. I would start with your trim on the lowest ( closest) setting, make sure your not on shallow water drive!! It should plane out and plow the front.. Then work your way up the trim holes until your happy.. Ideally the side spray should be at least 2/3 to the rear and the bow should be just above the surface. On my 16 ft steel AquaTruk ( homemade 1648) I can get it on plane empty with a 9.9 Johnson [/QUOTE]
