[QUOTE="fishguymatt_, post: 409692, member: 20720"] Gents, looking for some advice here..... My 14 Tracker mid v wide body has a rating of 755Lbs w Motor, Gear, and People & a 25HP rating. I have a new 25HP 4 Stroke Merc I am planning on putting on her..... A friend of mine recently told me that the new 4 stroke motors are heavier than old 2 strokes and it might be to heavy for the back of the boat - Merc specs have it at 157Lbs. 755-157= 598lbs for gear and people. I get that this will sit a bit lower in the water and do plan on putting some plexi glass on the transom custom cut to help with splash back in waves and slowing down. Thoughts and or opinions on my situation welcome please! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
