I have ordered a new aluminum boat for catfishing and am not interested in
200HP motors or getting 25 miles down the lake in 30 minutes. I would like
the hull to plane out and not feel sluggish under power. The new boat will
weigh 500 lbs. and perhaps 1000 to 1200 less motor when loaded. I would like
to put a 25HP on it but am afraid that's a little light. I notice that some
similar boat packages have 25s on them. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks -- Dave
