[QUOTE="wmk0002, post: 405234, member: 13975"] I would tend to agree that the hull has a larger impact than many give credit. I know a lot of guys who run 9.9's on 1436's or 1236's like mentioned above. They only think in terms of hull weight when looking for a hull for their 9.9 Tohatsu's for our local 10 hp restricted lake. Then they add a TM, battery, gas tank, motor, front plywood casting deck, tackle, cooler livewell, etc. and have a boat that has a much deeper draft than it is intended to have and squats down in the water and won't get up on plane. You could take all of that same stuff and drop it in a 1648 and would be heavier due to the hull but also have a shallower draft and have a larger surface pad for the boat to ride up on plane on which would help keep it up and from getting that squatting effect. The short answer is...I see lots of guys with 1648 Alumacrafts who fish that lake with 9.9's and they do just fine. They are definitely not fast, maybe 15 mph, but they ride on plane and get up relatively easy. Then they have a much more stable platform to fish from once they reach their spot. [/QUOTE]
