[QUOTE="nccatfisher, post: 471214, member: 10811"] The OMCs are good motors and obviously you aren't worried about fuel consumption so it may be worth it. I would bet when it is all said and done there won't be 2-3 MPH difference one way or another when you get through. My 1448 is the wide open hull design, it doesn't have the middle seats in it. I moved both batteries under the front where you step on the boat and made a 10 gallon built in fuel tank that goes all the way across that area to have all my weight up front. I have power trim and a 5" setback on mine as I run in shallow water with quite a bit of debris at night hunting. It makes a big difference to have mine as level as possible when I am easing around not on plane. Oh I just reread your original post, I thought we had the same boat, I was incorrect. Mine is a Grizzly. [/QUOTE]
