[QUOTE="Possumking, post: 518091, member: 36329"] Howdy. I’ve got a rebuild of my 1970 Ouachita 1436 I’d say probably 95% done. Hoping to get some input and advice. Visually I think it’s great. At this point I am trying to fine tune the performance. After adding in a significant deck, my 1969 9.5 is struggling to get the boat onto a plane. Additionally I find that when I sit in the mounted seat, my weight and the motor make the stern sit really low on the water. I recently obtained a 25 hp Johnson which I plan to test out but I am worried that the heavier motor will just make it harder to get things optimized. I am thinking my end solution will be to add some kind of beaver tail float pod system to the stern. My concern with that is that the float pods may not fit this older boat very well. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
