[QUOTE="redrum, post: 402396, member: 14669"] I ran a 50/35 2 Stroke Evinrude on a 1444 rivet boat all last year. A few issues to consider: Weight - It floated the engine just fine, so you should do even better with a much wider rear. However, I didn't have anything in the very rear of the boat behind the back bunk. My fuel tank was about midship and the battery (a lawn tractor battery) was just in front of the rear bunk. With myself and a passenger seated in the boat and floating the pump on the ob was out of the water. I'll try to include a picture. Power - It was pretty fast for my experience. It would run around 28-31 mph depending on load. 28 with two adults and a 25 gal bait tank. It did begin to bend my transom. I think it was from trailering, not the engine power. Either way I would highly suggest extra bracing. [/QUOTE]
