[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 471604, member: 7376"] No. I have had a 20hp on a 1448 Lowe which is a little lighter weight and a more efficient hull than the grizzly is; with two of us and little gear, 3 gal of fuel and a small battery, it would NOT plane. With just one of us, yeah it'd plane off but was still slow. Whatever the max HP rating is on the hull, run the maximum. You can back off the throttle to slow down but you can't make a motor that is already wide open and underpowered make more power. 1648 should be 40hp rating I think arent they? After looking at the spec, I see the 1448 has a max hp of 25 and a dry weight of 560lb+. That is a HEAVY pig. Mine is an over-built war eagle 1548 that weighs in at 350 lbs including the floor and low deck. I run a 25 on it and am happy with that. 30mph is plenty for me. With 2 of us and all the gear that she has to take we still plane off just fine and top out in the mid 20's. I have a 40 and might play with it once I get it fixed; not expecting more than maybe 35mph out of it. [/QUOTE]
