[QUOTE="870 ExpressMag, post: 274247, member: 9118"] I just bought a late 40's early 50's meyers aluminum boat. It's a 15footer with a 67" beam. Currently it has an Evinrude 18hp Fastwin on it. I am 6'1" 300lbs and my buddy about the same, it moves us ok but this boat is wide, and any chop or turning really bogs it down. Theres no data plate, dont look like there ever was one, so not sure what size motor i could go up to safely. [/QUOTE]
