[QUOTE="ober51, post: 104099, member: 1354"] Take this for what its worth but I have a 25 HP 2 stroke on a 1646 Monark mod v and it easily planes me quickly. Its a slight bigger motor but this is a bigger boat. I have full front deck, 6 gal gas can, bow motor, anchor, gear, and me. I am 230, and it planed just as easily with an additional 150lb adult. I think it would still plane with another adult. I havent hooked up my transducer yet (3M 5200 takes 5 days to cure and I want to fish!) but would expect 25 mph with just me in it. I think I can also trim it up a bit to get more speed. I think the stick steering helps tremendously with weight distribution, too. [/QUOTE]
