Had to move steering about 5 foot off the front of boat. Speed was unlimited.I'm sure that this way more than u want but if I wanted one; the longer will plane out much quicker and manuver better also. Ice runner would be a must for many reasons: help with turning at high speeds and protect the bottom sum what. Good luck they can be alot fun . Diffently invest in a good push pole.

Him and his son both had big azzed motors. Together they had over 1000 gator tags. Them boats looked funny with them big motors on the back. Tiller driven 150's.
I wouldn't go with less than 18 ft with a tunnel hull. Shorter boats will give more squat on take off, dragging bottom in shallow water.
