i finally finished my boat and trailer today, all i have left to do is install a trolling motor, but we took it out for the first time its a 1436 ouchita with a 15 hp 4 stroke mercury, it ran great, its a little to much motor for the boat and at it was plenty enough power at a half to 3 quarter speed with me and dad both in it, i weigh about 170 and him 220. didnt have a gps but would estimate at 3 quarter speed it was pushes at in the low to mid 20s. it was a blast and was worth the 2 and a half months of work. ill try to get some pictures posted tomorow after i get off work. but after the way the boat acted with that motor i will probobly be looking on craigslist for a 42 inch or wider 14 ft boat in the near future. o yea and dad and my uncle are taking it fishing in the morning while i have to work. ive worked on it for this long and dont even get to be the first person to fish out of it. ha but i guess thats how it goes
