[QUOTE="Brian J, post: 383425, member: 5340"] Ran a 25hp Mercury on both an 1836 Alumaweld (pre- Xpress) and a 1448 Alumacraft. Both were rigged with a 12 volt trolling motor, battery, 6 gallon fuel cell and a small deck on the bow. Both ran fine with just me and my gear in the boat. When another person and their gear was added to the boats, the 1836 still did "OK". The 1448 really struggled to get on plane and run effeciently. Based on my experiences, I would ONLY run a 25 if I ONLY fished by myself and had a very small light gauge boat. Regarding the center keel question, I'm on my 3rd river boat ranging from the aforementioned to our current 1650 with 90hp Yamaha. All have had the center keel running the length of the boat and we've not had any issues with performance because of that. [/QUOTE]
