[QUOTE="wihil, post: 289342, member: 6487"] I have a 12' deep V powered with a 7.5hp. For one person it's great, but I also fish large water as well as rivers. With one person I can plane out fully loaded and modded, but it's work. With two it's slow - I can't imagine how slow it would be with a 4hp. It also drafts deeper than I expected - not bad, but it's at least 5-6" in the rear with me, the motor and a trolling motor on the back. I put a low deck in the front, it's good for what it is, but it's not as stable as a nice wide jon. If I were you, I'd go straight to a 1448 and skip a 12'er since your focusing on the river. Put a 9.9 on it, and a basic trailer and call it a day. [/QUOTE]
