[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 475179, member: 22613"] That boat needs a short shaft motor. You could use a jack plate, but that is going to make your weight distribution problem worse. Best thing IMO would be to swap for a 25hp short shaft, but in the mean time, play with weight some more. In the 1448 that I used to have, simply moving the battery to the front was a night and day difference. Went from plowing at 8mph to cruising at 15. [/QUOTE]
