Are you sure that’s a 1448 .. ? Looks bigger … how’d y’all match the larger engine mounting to plat to the 15” transom of a Jon boat .. ? I’m looking for info on doing a 55hp on a 1982 Lowe stinger bass boat which is essentially a 15’ jon boat with seats decks etc .. I’m skeptical on that and y’all have a old school 120 on a 1448 🤯…
Same thought new guy who had a 20 ft bass boat with 175 black Max done 72 mph. We had a 16 ft tri haul with a 115 Evinrude that done 39 mph no power trim prob woulda done 43-44 with power trim.
I bought a 2007 grizzly 1860SC new and put a 1978 Johnson 85hp on it. Took it to a local shop and had trim tabs welded on. Max diameter prop but forgot what pitch. It GPS 43mph. Fun boat. Scary fast in small tight River bends. Kept up with any bass boat up to 120hp
thank you! we are making some changes to the boat this winter in hopes of gaining some more speed. Hopefully it helps and I will make sure to keep you posted!
So I'm getting this boat in the spring and I was told you don't want more than one person using the top pylon. Is there a weight rating in the owners manual?
