I have been told conflicting views by dealers. Some have said that a 25 HP with a 1650 (Max HP is 50)will be OK whereas others have advised against it. The view of one is that the boat will take too long to plane. Another is of the view that compared to a 1450, the longer 1650 will plane faster and will handle waves better. So which is better? Should I go for a 1450 or a 1650 with a 25 HP motor? Intuitively, I am thinking of the 1450 but there are some arguments that seem to make sense for the 1650. I do not really want to regret putting a 25HP on a 1650. Any help would be appreciated. Any referral to expert sources would also do. Thanks
Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday.
What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures.
Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
