[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 506656, member: 32426"] I’ve had similar boats and experiences to CRB357 but, no 25hp on the 1436. A four stroke 25 is even a bit heavy on my 2023 Lowe 1448M. The bare hull 1448 has good stability with an almost new Suzuki 9.9/ 20hp (~109 lbs.) A bit sketchy with a DF25 Suzuki (~165 lbs) and unstable with a Merc F25 Jet which weighs in around 200 lbs. We see how it balances out after doing the decks and rigging this winter. I’m leaning towards the lightest outboard. To Gunz, How would you compare the 1648 to the 1652 Roughneck. I’ve considered the Roughneck to replace my bigger boat but, I‘m think something like a 1660 or maybe the 1655 that Lowe offered a few years back. [/QUOTE]
