[QUOTE="DocCaliz, post: 159867, member: 3568"] Ive got a 14ft Seaking semi v. Im considering a 20hp Tahatsu/Nissan electric start that weights 120 lbs with a tiller. I weight 300lbs, the motor is 120lbs, then factor in the 3 gal gas tank and a starter battery. here are some picture of the rear with the transom out. Im not much of a carpenter so i do not plan on doing to much to the boat. Ill be replacing the wood for the benches adding some seat mount and two seats and a very small deck up front just large enough to hold a trolling motor and provide a little storage for the TM battery. at the rear i plan onputting in a peice of 2x10 for the transom to replace the 2x8 that is in currently. [img]https://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/doccaliz/IMG_0468.jpg[/img] another of the three supports in the back of the boat. [img]https://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/doccaliz/c44e9d1a.jpg[/img] I read this [url]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12144[/url] and i did the math and the boat should be able to handle a 30 hp outboard. I'm just so new to the boating thing I need some feedback from folks with more experience before I commit to such a big purchase so i don;t end up with a rig that could be dangerous. Thanks [/QUOTE]
