[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 154036, member: 1523"] two can fish comfortably out of a 1448, three have trouble. I doubt a 16' will plane out with three folks with a 15hp engine. My 9.9 Merc just needed a jet change to be a 15hp... It even had a black cowl because the former owner was supposed to run 7.5 or lower on his lake... The 9.9 would not plane out the heavy decked 1448mv with just me in it. If it was me I would find a big tiller engine, 25 or so and run that and a smaller 9.9 for the lakes on a older light 1660 mod v hull. Jamie [/QUOTE]
