[QUOTE="susqyg3, post: 470573, member: 6451"] I’m in the process of converting a 1988 bass tracker tx-17 to a duck boat. It is going to simply have an aluminum floor, small front deck and small rear seats (all aluminum) set up for a tiller. I have a center console jet boat for fishing, so this will be solely used for duck hunting and the occasional crabbing trips. I’m not ready to purchase a motor yet but I’m researching them. My best guess is a 40 hp tiller, but they seem hard to come by. Would a 30 be way underpowered? It will mostly be 1-2 guys and a dog plus gear. I hunt some water that can get pretty nasty if it blows, so I want to be able to get the boat on plane with a load. Thanks for any input! [/QUOTE]
