[QUOTE="Brian J, post: 388226, member: 5340"] It depends on the particular river that you're planning on running the most. In our area rivers which are predominately gravel bottomed, the guys who run Current river seem to prefer 1848 and 1852 .080 gauge boat powered by some make of a 60/40. A lot of guys who don't run the HP restricted part of Current river or run the Meramec and Gasconade seem to run 1852 .100 gauge boats with 90/65 or 115/80 on them. Still others who primarily run the middle and lower Gasconade and Osage mainly run 1860 .100 gauge boats and are powered by everything from 150 all the way up to 250 and even 300. In regards to the tiller set up, a guy in our local bass club runs an 1852 .080 gauge Blazer sport powered by a 115/80 direct injected (pre-etec) Evinrude and it is an absolute runner. He swears by the tiller and wouldn't have anything but. Very few guys run tunnel boats here in MO. [/QUOTE]
