[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 511520, member: 3438"] Welcome to Tin Boats. If those are the true side/bottom thicknesses, that is a very heavy boat! You will need the max size motor and you will still be leaving your friend behind with all the gear as you bring back the moose/elk. You will be hauling gas, be it 150 miles or 300 back and forth. I'd calculate the weight of the boat and all your gear, people, etc, and look at the Outboard Jets website to see what range of powerhead you need: [URL='https://www.outboardjets.com/boat-selection/']Boat Selection[/URL] If it is even viable. Given the transom, suspect that this is a prop tunnel boat, which are usually deeper/taller than typical jet tunnel. You might have to build the transom up and add jack plate. [/QUOTE]
