Message: <blockquote data-quote="RedHatRedNeck" data-source="post: 463407" data-attributes="member: 22224">Back in my young and dumb days I ran a lot of small 14' boats with a 10 horse in rougher water and with more people than  I should have. It all depends on how disciplined your son is and how coordinated you and your buddies are. I have a 1860 console with a 40hp and it's perfect for me the wife our 4 dogs and our son. It will plane out and run low 30s.  Eventually I do want to upgrade motors to 60-75hp as it's rated for a 90  Small enough I can trim the motor up and get in less than 1' of water, but big enough it's not tippy and wind doesn't mess me up too bad. Having lived in Moore/Del City for 3 years I know the wind you're talking about and would suggest at least 16' or longer and at least a 52" or wider bottom.  It will be tough to find a 1860 under $4k but they may be out there. Let me know if there are any other questions on a 1860. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/d81c2372ab34d11f3cf5d70f6a4f63e6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/12c3840e91cded0f667acce6ea922603.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/ff87522b7d49fbed6be01338c02b99f3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190329/a624245dc918a246c931514f02ffa080.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk</blockquote>
