Like I said...that 25gtr on the right boat will still run 29-30 mph and still haul a decent load....it may struggle a little in the thick stuff but it'll go...get on youtube and look up instagator's 25 and boat he builds specifically for that 25 and I think you'll be impressed...

It will be on a 15' x 42" flat as of now. 4 people and 2 dogs from time to time lol. But from the launch to my blind is around a 1/2 mile. So as long as she'll start and kick in gear, I'll be satisfied. Now my buddy on the other hand, is a hug fan of fast s**t lol. So he might be interested in getting a few more horses out of it. He's actually en route to run it at the guys house now. Not sure what boat he has it on at the time, but sometime this week we will throw it on my boat and test her out. I'll be sure to give a report. Thanks for all the info guys.

Four guys and two dogs plus gear. That aint no lol matter. Dare say that boat is not only overloaded but WAY overloaded. Even if you only have to run 1/2 mile from the launch to your blind.

I ran that same boat with a home made long tail that was heavy as s**t for 4 seasons at my other lease. About a 3 mile run, 1/2 mile across BIG water. Up to 5 people with 2 dogs. Sketchey? at times, yes, very lol. But never sank it.

Poor folks got poor ways.
