[QUOTE="surfman, post: 460973, member: 7404"] Well, I have a 1448 jon, flat bottom. When I got it it had a 9.9 on it and it was okay with me and my wife and would get on plane okay. But, with 3 people in it it would not really get on plane. Don't really know the top speed though. Now I have a 20 hp Yamaha 4s and it will handle 3 people just fine and with just me in it and nothing else will top out at around 27 mph. If I have a load of fishing gear and my fishing buddy with me it will top out at around 18 mph, maybe, and uses a lot more gas. I am thinking of getting a second prop with a lower pitch just for those days when I fish with someone else. Most of the time I'm by myself. 3 is a lot for a 14' boat but, if you are fishing with bait and not constantly casting like you do with artificial lures it is doable. [/QUOTE]
