[QUOTE="SC Designs, post: 402662, member: 20199"] Oh yeah, and to the 14/32 with the 80 hp giving the impression that it is crazy scary, it's not.. You guys would be amazed at to how stable it is. When riding at speeds, it feels just as stable as a 42 bottom. I have been in both. I recon being the engine is mounted closer to the center of the boat it rides much flatter vs. a 25 h.p. hanging off the back causing the boat to ride up on the rear pad. There is no dancing around even at speeds over 40. Just smooth and easy. I never go much over 30 when I'm using it. That seems to be where the engine sounds happy and it's plenty fast for the rivers I use it on. It 's nice knowing I have the extra power on tap but it is hardly used. I will admit, I would like to have a wider boat for when I'm sitting still and trying to move about in the boat, yes it's tipsy but once moving it's a 100% stable. [/QUOTE]
